Amazon has frozen a part of its expansion plans in Seattle, pending the outcome of a City Council vote to a new tax on large companies that could fund programs targeted toward providing affordable housing and assisting the homeless.
The firm, which employs more than 40,000 people in Seattle, was planning a brand new 17-storey office tower that would house at least 7,000 brand new employees. But now the project is on hold, and Amazon is threatening to sublease out all of the space it’therefore leased in a different building that’s under construction.
