Amazon has ditched its plans to open a headquarters in New York City after growing opposition to its plans by local officials and unions.

"After much thought and deliberation, we’ve decided not to move forward with our plans to build a headquarters for Amazon in Long Island City, Queens," the company said in a blog post on Thursday.
