Statement from Vice President Ken Pokalsky on Amazon Leaving New York City:

 

“It is incredibly disappointing for New York to be losing out on one of the largest economic development opportunities in its history. The project would have provided tremendous economic benefits to the state and produced massive returns on its incentive package including estimates of over $1 billion a year in state and city revenue. It’s simply unfortunate that politics was chosen over opportunity. “
