PLAINFIELD – When a company like Amazon splashes into town, expect ripple effects.
Plainfield officials say they’re already seeing ancillary benefits from announced planned construction of a 202,044-square-foot Amazon distribution facility on 61 acres at 137 Lathrop Road.
The project, which cleared the Planning and Zoning Commission earlier this month, is expected to bring in a fresh workforce, both for the project’s construction and operational phases, along with dozens of new families who will live and shop in town, First Selectman Kevin Cunningham said.
“I’ve been told Amazon plans on having about 150 staff members in the facility and those are people that will eat at our restaurants and shop at our stores,” Cunningham said. “But we’ve also seen a recent interest from businesses looking to come into town because of the Amazon project, like trucking and repair operations.”
