Get up to
Every aspect of the Virginia story echoes what happened in New York. Amazon will receive “performance-based incentives” totalling around $750m (£575m) from the state authorities if its plans come to fruition. With Arlington County’s hotel tax revenue expected to rise with Amazon’s arrival, the company will also get up to 15% of a local tax on hotels if it meets certain goals for how much space its new offices fill. In case anyone thought this wasn’t quite generous enough, two weeks ago, county authorities in Arlington also approved a package of “pay for performance” grants to Amazon that could total $23m.
