Hundreds of Tennessee Department of Transportation emails and documents dating from late summer through mid-November show state and local officials expediting their way through technical barriers for a potential Amazon warehouse.
Proposed for the former Pine Lakes Golf Course at the corner of Pellissippi Parkway and Alcoa Highway, preliminary designs show the e-commerceâs distribution hub would sit on a 634,812-square-foot pad and stand about 100 feet tall.
The facility, nicknamed âProject Pearl,â could create 750-1,000 jobs should developer, Dallas-based Hillwood Investment Properties Inc., decide to build.
Alcoa City Manager Mark Johnson said Hillwood principals have not put pen to paper yet, but heâs expecting a decision in the near future.
