Sticking by DC, Amazon won't replace scrapped NYC campus

Amazon, the e-commerce giant that planned to split a second headquarters between New York and Washington, D.C., won’t try to replace the Big Apple campus scrapped because of opposition from local lawmakers.

Instead, the Seattle-based company said in a statement Thursday, it will proceed “as planned” with an office for 25,000 people in northern Virginia, part of the D.C. metro area, and a Nashville, Tenn., operations center slated to employ 5,000.
