Rumor is...

Amazon is coming to I-20 and Appling exit... 1,000 jobs.

Amazon what? Telecommunications? IT? Fulfillment (which I doubt as there’s one in Cayce not even an hour away but it’s completely possible)?

Interesting. I haven’t heard anything about it but it would be good for the area if it’s true. Amazon is known for having decent paying jobs.

Obviously this would be a warehouse, if true.

Supposed to be a 2,000,000sqft distribution center if heard correctly... range of salaries.

This is a big deal for the metro... amazon apparently has already filed for construction and to start some time in April.

Apparently the distribution center will be located at the Whiteoak Business Park.

Jobs start out at $15/hour. Not too shabby. Now I hope the county will ramp up needed road improvements to handle the traffic instead of waiting until after

That made me chuckle as just about every county drags its heels on infrastructure spending.

The regulations and red tape that county/state governments have to jump through to do infrastructure projects like this doesn’t exactly help... it’s the same thing in every economic sector, you should see what we have to do in the nuclear power industry to get anything done.

Look at the bridge construction at I-20 over the Savannah... it’s been in planning for years and is still years away from completion, it didn’t used to be like that. Everyone has their hand out, slowing the process down...
