Fort Wayne City Council has rejected a $7.3 million tax abatement for Amazon’s newest fulfillment center on a 5-3-1 vote.
The new Amazon fulfillment center was known as “Project Mastodon” to the public as negotiations for the Fort Wayne facility went on during late 2020. It was revealed in April, and will serve as the tenth Amazon fulfillment center in Indiana.
Amazon promises 1,000 new jobs to Fort Wayne and a starting wage of $15 per hour. The center will be located on U.S. 30, near Sweetwater, on property previously owned by Fort Wayne’s redevelopment commission.
On July 13, Amazon officials discussed the potential tax abatement with City Council, which the company says would apply to machinery costs.
