POLL: Are you disappointed Amazon cancelled its HQ2 plans for NYC
NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Some are cheering, some are jeering.
Amazon's announcement Thursday that it's scrapping its plans to open a second headquarters in Long Island City in Queens, follows vocal backlash by some local residents and politicians.
"After much thought and deliberation, we’ve decided not to move forward with our plans to build a headquarters for Amazon in Long Island City, Queens," Amazon spokeswoman Jodi Seth said.

Born, raised, and educated in New York, being on 1010 WINS on a daily basis is a dream come true. I got my start on the airwaves of WRHU at Hofstra, covering news and sports, as well as running the board while deejaying some music shows. I’ve been on the air in New York regularly since 2012 on a multitude of stations, including WOR, Bloomberg 1130, and SIRIUSXM.
When I’m not telling you what you need to know about the bridges and tunnels, I’m probably in search of another way on the air. I’ve handled play-by-play duties for SUNY Maritime’s football and lacrosse teams, and worked the PA microphone at Hofstra.
A native of Long Beach, New York, I live in Queens, and, yes, I have to deal with the same Subway problems you do on the way to and from work each day.
