As first reported by HBJ last month, Indiana developer Scannell Properties has proposed to build a $50-million, 823,000-square-foot distribution hub on former tobacco farmland at 1201 Kennedy Road and 1 Joseph Lane. Town officials and design professionals representing Scannell at the time did not name a potential tenant. Amazon, though, emerged as the prospective tenant last week as the town’s Economic Development Commission voted to recommend that the Town Council consider a multi-year tax abatement sought by the company, which plans to invest at least $200 million to build out the facility. Amazon is hoping construction begins at the facility in the third quarter of 2020 before it starts occupying the new space in the third quarter of 2021.
