New York offered Amazon nearly $1 billion more in tax credits than previously known for its HQ2 deal

Last February, Amazon called off its HQ2 deal in the Queens borough of New York City after tension with lawmakers and politicians whorecently obtained corporate documents and reported that New York officials initially offered Amazon $800 million more in tax credits than its 2018 signed agreement.
