Who puts a distribution center on an island???  I trust Amazon knows their ***** but that just sounds stupid.  How my roads on and off the island are there?

This sounds like a smaller version of what happened with Adelphia back in the late 90's. If memory serves, the city was being offered 1,000 good paying jobs and the construction of a building downtown but the mayor wanted to squeeze them for a few more dollars and Adelphia left. I am aware that Adelphia went the wrong way shortly after but the jobs still existed when Comcast and Time Warmer bought them out.
