Amazon has a large warehouse in Lancaster and a smaller one in Tonawanda. These might be leased, although the Lancaster one looks to be quite new. There is another in Hamburg near FedEx Ground.
They may be getting out of older leased space and building new, larger, more automated warehouses near cargo airports.
NYS just raised the minimum wage Upstate on Friday by a buck an hour.
No vote in the legislature needed, BTW.
I’m betting those Amazon jobs are on the block whether or not the warehouse space is leased.
