A 1 million square-foot distribution and logistics centre for Amazon is being constructed at the city’s industrial park.
“They paid over $4 million for the land,” says Belleville mayor Neil Ellis. “The construction jobs, and even the spinoff jobs — whether it’s transportation — there’s going to be a lot of economic impact because of them.”
