Andrew Cuomo and other Democrats are begging Jeff Bezos to reconsider New York for HQ2 after Amazon abruptly announced plans to ditch the city

Andrew Cuomo is determined to win Jeff Bezos back and bring Amazon HQ2 to New York City.

New York governor Andrew Cuomo is trying to get Amazon to reverse its decision to ditch its HQ2 plans for the city.

Amazon had announced the city as a location for part of its expansion, but backed out following fierce opposition from activists concerned about gentrification and the tax incentives it was offered as part of the deal. A consortium of businesspeople are also publishing an open letter to Amazon in the paper on Friday asking it to reconsider.

Signatories to the letter include Mastercard CEO Ajay Banga, Citigroup CEO Michael Corbat, General Atlantic CEO William Ford, Morgan Stanley CEO James Gorman, and Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon.
