Recent news reports indicate Amazon is pausing construction on parts of the second phase of its big Arlington-based HQ2 project at National Landing.
The news comes as Amazon plans to open HQ2’s first phase, Metropolitan Park, which includes two large office buildings, in June.
The retailer said it is pausing the groundbreaking on HQ2’s second phase, PenPlace, after announcing some 18,000 layoffs nationwide in January and the needs of its increasingly remote workforce.
