One of the other areas the online retail giant is considering is New York’s Long Island City, according to a source familiar with the talks. On Tuesday, Cuomo told reporters that Amazon is looking at Long Island City, but didn’t say if it was a finalist. About 40 percent of people over 25 in the Long Island City area have a bachelor’s or higher degree, slightly above the citywide rate, the Furman Center’s data shows. The New York Times reported Monday that Amazon is finalizing deals to locate to Long Island City and the Crystal City section of Arlington, Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C. ___Klepper reported from Albany, New York, and Suderman reported from Richmond, Virginia.
