A Statement Regarding the Decision by Amazon to Cancel Their New York Headquarters Plan
SYRACUSE, N.Y. – In light of the recent decision by Amazon to cancel their planned HQ2 in
New York, please see the statement below.
County Executive J. Ryan McMahon, II said, “Downstate politicians have allowed their personal
political agendas to continue to drive business out of New York State. Make no mistake, the
decision by Amazon is a loss for all of New York and the blame lies solely with the downstate
politicians who would rather play politics than actually fight for real, good-paying jobs. The
business community should know that Onondaga County and Central New York are open for
business and we would gladly welcome any company, big or small, new or established, that is
interested in relocating or expanding.”
