Perhaps you would prefer the phraseology:
"After seeing the negative reaction to the agreed to plan for building a second partial headquarters in the New York City area by the politicians in the area, the CEO of Amazon, (and it's main decision maker), Jeff Bezos, decides that it would be not in the best interests of the company to site said headquarters in the NYC area. This decision was made by the company, not the city, and the company has no further interest in siting a major complex there and has written off the research and costs involved in the initial search."
Semantically about equal, I merely put it in the crude vernacular the first time. . .
Amazon press release.
"While polls show that 70 percent of New Yorkers support our plans and investment, a number of state and local politicians have made it clear that they oppose our presence and will not work with us to build the type of relationships that are required to go forward with the project we and many others envisioned in Long Island City," Amazon said in the statement Thursday.
