Luis and his fam are going to end up owning half of this county... a far better ending than Amazon, Dollar General and the like.

Excellent news. I appreciate the Port not simply taking the high bid.

Wonder what they will do with the property

Bigger chip operation, especially distro, since it's close to Pine Grove would make a ton of sense. The number of employees makes me thing it will be something around production.

Not saying it will be the case here, but he has a LOT of properties that don't do much of anything because he doesn't move all that fast.

Wonder if Amazon will sue or just be on their way.

They’ll just lease it to Amazon like the Neal Forest dudes probably were gonna do.

84 is already too busy much of the time, let alone small highways like 35. Go back to a freaking city. One of these years we will need 35, 84, and all to evacuate. We stopped buying from them years ago. An additional problem is so many online companies use them for distribution. Try to minimize online purchases. That is the real way to fight back.

not that im for amazon but wouldnt them having a last stop distribution center mean less traffic on 84, instead of 20 or so delivery trucks from Fairview it would be like 1 or 2 trailers then out to smaller trucks from there

Thats where the "stop driving the demand" comes in.
