Impact analysis
This could bring in a ton of cash for the city, but we might also see higher utility bills or need to upgrade infrastructure.
The city itself could see a boost in tax revenue and new jobs, plus Amazon gets a new place to operate.
Residents might face increased strain on local resources like power and water, and potentially higher utility costs.
