Virginia is the birthplace of eight presidents. And Virginia is one of the two states where e-commerce company Amazon is planning to install its HQ2, its second headquarters. The company is based in Seattle, Washington. It announced plans for a second base more than a year ago. After a nationwide competition between cities to attract Amazon, the company announced that New York City and Crystal City, Virginia would be the two places where Amazon's new homes would be. In total they offered $2.8 billion in incentives to Amazon but that figure could go higher.
弗吉尼亚州诞生了8位总统。另外，电子商务公司亚马逊第二总部的最终选址确定了两个州，而弗吉尼亚是其中之一。亚马逊总部位于华盛顿西雅图。该公司在一年多以前宣布了建立第二总部的计划。全美多个城市为吸引亚马逊的入驻展开了激烈竞争，现在该公司宣布将第二总部分设在纽约市和弗吉尼亚州水晶城。这两座城市一共为亚马逊提供了28亿美元的激励措施，而这一数字很可能进一步增加。
