Amazon.com Inc. won the last approval it was seeking for an incentive plan that helped lure the largest online retailer to Northern Virginia.
The five-member Arlington County Board on Saturday unanimously approved $23 million in incentives for the company to build a headquarters in the Crystal City neighborhood, just outside Washington, D.C. -- after six-and-a-half hours of testimony, protests and discussions by more than 100 people who argued for and against the deal.
