What Amazon gets from Arlington County in the HQ2 deal
New York Arlington County, which is part of the Northern Virginia location for Amazon's second headquarters, has made its agreement with the company public.
The 20-page document, released on Tuesday, details the various agreements the city made to bring the company to the area. For example, Amazon will receive spread-out payments stemming from a projected increase in hotel taxes, and it will get two-days written notice for requests related to the company made under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act. The Washington Post was the first to report the news. The Arlington County Board will vote on the agreement at its March 16 meeting.
