Dozens of New York political, union and business leaders, as well as the CEOs of companies, including Mastercard (MA) and Goldman Sachs (GS), are trying to get Amazon (AMZN) to reconsider its decision to abandon its plans for a major campus in Queens. They have signed an “open letter,” set to run in The New York Times on Friday, asking the company to reconsider its bombshell announcement on February 14 canceling the Queens project. The letter says that “as representatives of a wide range of government, business, labor and community interests, we urge you to reconsider, so that we can move forward together.” The group says the public’s response was “rough and not very welcoming.” But, it continues, “when we commit to a project as important as this, we figure out how to get it done in a way that works for everyone.” Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo “will take personal responsibility for the project’s state approval, and Mayor de Blasio will work together with the governor to manage the community development project.”
