"Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) today announced that it has selected New York City and Arlington, Virginia, as the locations for the company's new headquarters," the release said. "Amazon will invest $5 billion and create more than 50,000 jobs across the two new headquarters locations, with more than 25,000 employees each in New York City and Arlington [in the state of Virginia]. The new locations will join Seattle as the company's three headquarters in North America."
Amazon also announced that it has selected Nashville, Tennessee, for a new Operations Center of Excellence, which is responsible for transportation, supply chain and similar activities.

Amazon explained that the new Arlington headquarters will be located in National Landing, near Washington, DC, and the New York City headquarters will be located in the Long Island City neighborhood in Queens.
