The Fulton County Development Authority has pre-approved Amazon's $500 million investment to transform a 1.1 million sq. ft. property in southwest Atlanta into a 'first-mile' fulfillment center, which will utilize robotics for inventory management. The project is anticipated to create 500 construction jobs and 750 permanent positions, along with $16 million in tax incentives over ten years. Despite some concerns from board member Alvin Kendall about the urgency of the decision, Amazon is expected to announce its final location decision in the coming months.
