Amazon has chosen New York City and Northern Virginia to split HQ2, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday.

Citing sources “familiar with the matter,” The Journal reports the tech giant will announce the locations of its second and third headquarters Tuesday.

Amazon was expected to announce its second headquarters, which could bring as many as 50,000 new jobs by the end of 2019.

Amazon began its search for another headquarters over a year ago, soliciting bids from cities across North America and eventually receiving 238 proposals. The company narrowed its search to 20 finalists in January, and teams visited finalist cities in spring and summer.
