It’s official: Amazon is cancelling its plans to open a new headquarters in New York City.

According to the New York Times, Amazon has decided to reverse course and not move forward with plans to make Long Island City in the New York City borough of Queens one of its new “HQ2” headquarter locations.

Amazon will, however, proceed with its HQ2 plans in Arlington, Virginia as well as a third location in Nashville, Tennessee. The AP reports Amazon will not be searching for a location to replace the New York City site.
