The distribution center will be the online retail giant's second in the state, where it employs several thousand workers at a warehouse off Interstate 95 in Southeast Baltimore.
In Cecil, Amazon will occupy the Principio Commerce Center I, a huge industrial building being developed in North East by Trammel Crow Co. and Diamond Realty Investments Co., the real investment arm of Mitsubishi Corp. The project is expected to deliver in the spring, according to marketing material.
A resolution currently in front of the Cecil County Council labels the tenant as "Project Iron LLC." The resolution shows the state Department of Commerce has agreed to loan Project Iron up to $1.2 million from the Maryland Economic Development Assistance and Authority Fund. As required by the MEDAAF statute, Cecil County must match 10 percent of the loan, in this case $120,000.
The resolution was introduced to the Cecil council on Jan. 3 and is up for final approval at its meeting Tuesday evening.
A $90 million investment is being made in the project, the resolution shows. Project Iron expects to hire 700 permanent full‐time employees at the site by the end of 2020.

I can't imagine why that would put that building and all those jobs up there along I-95 and directly in between Baltimore and Philadelphia. If y'all want jobs, all you need to do is move to where they are because they sure aren't coming to you.
ReplyDeleteBob Culver was too stupid to get this one for Wicomico County. So much for being "Open For Business" just like the "State."
ReplyDeleteamazon said they won't come to Wicomico because this is thug central and they would never be able to find 700 people to work
