How does Amazon pick its Connecticut locations? Its new massive warehouse proposal offers clues

Already the largest corporate employer in Connecticut with some 17,000 workers and more during the holidays, Amazon would get bigger yet in hiring between 500 and 1,000 people to staff the new fulfillment center if it is built in the Waterbury-Naugatuck Industrial Park. A South Windsor delivery center is adjacent to highway ramps to minimize the impact of traffic on neighbors, and a Stratford center is located in an existing commercial park occupied by FedEx, which sees similar levels of commercial vehicle traffic. But in Connecticut and the wider region, Amazon has not shied away from siting its delivery stations in commercial zones that are in close proximity to residential streets, including on a single-lane stretch of Route 25 on the Trumbull-Monroe line that is several miles from the nearest highway.
