BROOKLYN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PRESIDENT HOAN AND BOROUGH PRESIDENT ADAMS JOINT STATEMENT ON NEW YORK CITY BIDDING FOR AMAZON HQ2

September 15, 2017

“We are heartened that the City has declared their intent to submit a formal bid for Amazon’s proposed second headquarters. From the moment that this international search was announced, we had no doubt that Brooklyn was the prime choice for Amazon’s HQ2. The Brooklyn Prime campaign has generated exceptional buzz in our borough, a destination for innovation that is ready to create tens of thousands of quality jobs as a result of this unique opportunity. As proposals are submitted in the coming days, we will continue to dialogue with City Hall on this important prospect for our economic development.”
