“In New York City, we measure success by how many everyday New Yorkers benefit, and Amazon's #HQ2 will bring us $13.5 billion in tax revenue and as many as 40,000 new jobs — the biggest move of new jobs to our city in our history,” de Blasio wrote on Twitter.
Later, he also thanked Andrew Cuomo, Governor of New York, for the partnership and commended the company on his Twitter account.
I want to thank @NYGovCuomo for his partnership in this huge accomplishment for our city. And I want to commend @amazon for coming forward with a vision that not only calls for the best talent but also for diverse talent. They came to the right place. #HQ2. https://t.co/PhHYMexoag
