We've all come to appreciate the convenience
of being able to order just about anything
and have it delivered right to our homes.
But what people don't necessarily think about
is what happens behind the scenes to make that possible.
A new Amazon warehouse could be moving into the Sunrise Mall property.
But as News 12 has reported, neighbors say they have concerns.
This warehouse does not fit into the scheme of our community.
They say their biggest worries
are noise pollution and increased traffic.
In Sunrise Highway, the whole area is congested.
There's a lot of stores, there's a lot of houses, you know,
and you're putting this big monster in the middle of it.
During their presentation,
project managers say Amazon delivery vans will be driving in and out
only in off-peak hours and not in the middle of the night.
They also say they've done traffic and environmental studies
and found the impact will be significantly less than Sunrise Mall
when it was in its prime.
They also say the site will add jobs and benefit the economy.
But neighbors still aren't sold.
We do want progress,
but we want it to benefit the people that pay the taxes
and the people that want to live a quiet, healthy lifestyle.

And we just learned that tonight's vote was postponed
because they were receiving comments over emails,
but of course there were issues because of the Microsoft outages.
