Online retailer Amazon plans to start moving goods into its Hamilton and Bradley distribution centers in August or September, officials said Tuesday.
“This is a fast track trying to get this built and ready,” said Doug Berry, the Cleveland-Bradley Chamber of Commerce’s vice president of economic development, about the Bradley project.
Also, Trevor Hamilton, the Chattanooga Area Chamber of Commerce’s chief economic development official, said he’s confident Amazon and the state will work out a conflict over sales tax payments.
He said he can’t comment on where Amazon and the state are on the issue now, but he believes the company had already considered it when deciding to invest in Tennessee.
Berry told a group of certified commercial real estate members that he hopes the difference is already resolved.
