The city wants to sell 17.3 acres to Amazon as the e-commerce giant moves ahead with its plan to build a massive distribution center in the South End. The city will hold an April 21 hearing on its proposal to sell the undeveloped property at 305 Great Hill Road and 0 Sheridan Drive to Amazon.com Services LLC for $325,000. Most residents who spoke at a hearing last fall were against Amazon’s plan to build a 650,000-square-foot distribution center in the industrial park on land straddling the Waterbury-Naugatuck town line. Project developer Bluewater Property Group has proposed a 650,000-square-foot, 106-foot tall, multi-floor retail distribution center on the Naugatuck -Waterbury line in the area of 0 Great Hill Road and 0 Sheridan Drive on about 183 acres. It’s divided up to about 114 acres in the city and roughly 69 acres in the borough. Bluewater Property Group Vice President Christina Bernard told residents at that fall hearing the distribution center will operate 24 hours a day, every day of the year and would create 500 to 1,000 permanent jobs. She said the project would create 300 jobs during the construction, estimated to take about 24 to 30 months.
