This is an office facility in Manhattan in an existing building. They're merely going to renovated the space and move in like dozens of other businesses do every year. It's going to provide about 2,000 jobs. It was already in the works before they pulled out of the Queens project.
The other one was a large development in a run down area of western Queens near the Queensbridge Houses (you know, the largest public housing development in North America, 60% minority that weren't invited to the big rally a couple of months ago) that would created more than 25,000 jobs, upgraded the area, provided billions of dollars in revenue to the State, City, and local businesses.
A HUGE lost to Queens, the city, and the state. Nothing to brag about or be smug about.
