Construction on Amazon’s proposed $230 million fulfillment center in Windsor is expected to start in July after town officials on Monday approved a three-year tax abatement for the e-commerce giant. Windsor’s town council in a virtual meeting Monday approved a reduced three-year, 50% abatement of real property taxes and a 50% reduction in building permit fees for the company as it plans to occupy a new 823,000-square-foot distribution hub on former tobacco farmland at 1201 Kennedy Road and 1 Joseph Lane. With the abatement in hand, Jim Burke, the town’s economic development director, on Tuesday told HBJ the company now plans to begin construction on the distribution center in July for completion in Sept. 2021.
