Maryland Gov. Hogan to Amazon: 'We are still here, and we are still interested.'
By Rachel Chason Rachel Chason Reporter covering local politics Email Bio Follow March 19 at 3:46 PM Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said Tuesday that he pitched Maryland as a possible alternative to New York for Amazon’s second headquarters in a recent conversation with leaders at the company and is not giving up on luring the retail giant to the state.
“We’re not giving up,” said Hogan, who said he reached out to Amazon officials the day he heard they might pull out of New York because of local opposition. “I’m never satisfied. I’d like to have 50,000 jobs instead of 5,000.” “I’m passionate about this,” Hogan said in New Carrollton, one of 149 federally designated “opportunity zones” where the governor wants to invest state money to bolster development in areas where investors can qualify for capital gains tax breaks.
