A sign for Long Island stands in Long Island City on the edge of the East River in New York City on February 15, 2019. Amazon canceled plans to build a new headquarters in New York after facing backlash from members of the community. Amazon selected New York City and Northern Virginia in November 2018 to split duty as its second headquarters (nicknamed HQ2) after a year-long search. Each city was expected to have more than 25,000 workers over time. Photo by John Angelillo/UPI
