Play
Amazon made it official Tuesday: Boston will not be the home of its second headquarters.
The Seattle-based behemoth will actually have two "HQ2s," one in Long Island City, New York, and one in Crystal City, Virginia. The two locations will split the promised 50,000 new Amazon jobs, according to a company press release.
Amazon will also develop a small site in Nashville that it says will create 5,000 jobs.
Boston, together with Somerville, was among 20 HQ2 finalists named earlier this year.
