Amazon just renamed part of Northern Virginia. Wait, they can do that?

Amazon’s long-awaited, heavily courted second headquarters will be split between New York City and Northern Virginia, the trillion-dollar mega-company revealed Tuesday.

The announced plan, which guarantees the online organization greater influence in both Wall Street and Congress, has led to confusion as the company’s Tuesday statement refers to the area where it plans to settle in Arlington County as “National Landing.” As a former longtime resident of Northern Virginia, I can assure you there’s no such place as “National Landing.”
