Amazon has completed the purchase of 200 acres of land in Enfield for $20 million, with the company having already aired plans to build a new distribution warehouse. “Amazon represents a major opportunity for job growth and economic development,” said Aaron Marcavitch, Enfield’s director of economic and community development on Wednesday. “We are glad they chose Enfield and Connecticut and look forward to working effectively with them through the permitting and development process.” Earlier in April, Amazon received approval to build a huge warehouse on nearly 160 acres on the Waterbury-Naugatuck line, with a projected employee base of 1,000 people. Amazon is slated to release its first-quarter results on Thursday afternoon. Profits totaled $59.2 billion in 2024, as revenue rose 11% from a year earlier to $638 billion.
