Arlington County lawmakers voted Saturday to green light Amazon’s plans for PenPlace, the largest piece of its new Northern Virginia headquarters.
In an exhaustive, year-long series of reviews leading up to the vote, some residents voiced concerns that the site may assume the feel of a closed-off corporate campus. Others said the tech giant must provide additional community resources for its neighbors, such as greater support to preserve affordable housing, or space for a library or community center.
“We are one community and we will benefit from this all together,” she said. “The opportunity to not only provide something exciting for the nearby neighborhoods, but to lift up the entirety of Arlington County, makes this project a joy to support.” Some proponents of the project have argued that Amazon’s presence is bound to spur additional development, adding housing stock to a white-hot real estate market that lacks enough homes at any price point.
