Amazon plans $260M Georgia fulfillment center, hiring 1,000 Follow Us
Question of the Day
By - Associated Press - Friday, May 7, 2021
POOLER, Ga. (AP) - Amazon announced Friday it will open a $260 million fulfillment center near Savannah, where the online retailer plans to hire 1,000 full-time workers.
The Seattle-based online retail and internet service titan said early construction has already started on a facility that will cover 640,000 square feet (60,000 square meters) and is expected to open next year. Workers will pick, pack and ship orders such as books, toys and small household goods. The company says employees will work alongside robots.
Wages for full-time employees will start at $15 an hour, Amazon spokesperson Ashley Lansdale said.
Today’s batch of burning questions, my smart-aleck answers and the real deal:
Question: For the last 18-24 months, what appears to be a landfill has been growing exponentially right next to Cane Creek Road just up from Turgua Brewery. It is now 20-30 feet higher than the base. It is within 5-10 feet of Cane Creek Road and is very close to the creek itself. It seems to consist primarily of construction debris and fill dirt. Is such a use legal so close to a busy road and waterway, and, if so, have the necessary permits been filed? Is it periodically inspected?
