Koko78 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Grand Island was an odd location to put a major distribution center, but it's not surprising that the asswholes chased them (and the 1,000 jobs) away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

Orlando Buffalo Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
