Arlington County Government offices and services are operating on modified schedules for Memorial Day on Mon., May 29, 2023.
On November 13, 2018, Amazon announced that it had selected Arlington as the location for its new second headquarters (HQ2). The news followed a year-long process in which Amazon considered 238 proposals from communities across North America.
As one of the most significant economic development projects in recent history, Amazon's decision to select Northern Virginia validated the region as a world-class hub for the tech industry.
Construction on Amazon's HQ2 is currently underway, with Phase 1 expected to be completed in 2023.
The company will invest more than $2 billion to establish its new headquarters, which will create at least 25,000 high-wage jobs by 2030.
