Developer with Amazon ties buys land in Port Allen

Could this be another attempt at a fulfillment center since the Cortana deal fell through?

Seefried Port Allen bought the 63.3-acre site in a deal filed with the West Baton Rouge Clerk of Court’s office Friday. Seefried also filed a second document outlining a lease agreement with Amazon.com for the property.
In April, Atlanta-based Seefried handled the purchase of a 34.3-acre site on Bethany Church’s Industriplex campus. That property is now home for Amazon’s South Baton Rouge Distribution Center, a 111,918-square foot facility that recently opened.

I was wondering what happened to that. Was all over the news then just disappeared like a fart in the wind.
Did the broom sweep it away?

Probably a replacement for what they wanted at Cortana. I can't think of any reason they'd build another local center that close to the one off of Siegen. WBR does not have enough people to need their own.
They better get those trucks across the bridge at 4am though

No, Dillard's refused to sell their part of the mall.

Dillards owns their building at Cortana and was apparently playing hard ball with Amazon.

Bezos could build a new bridge all by himself.

Smart decision to have one center on each side of the bridge. That will save them days worth of delays.

2 day delivery just crossing the bridge.

Would be the perfect place to test a drone delivery system to bypass the dreaded bridge
truck pulls into WBR, drone picks up goods and brings to EBR to be loaded onto another truck.

That’s honestly a better spot for a DC. It’s closer to I-10 with easy access to US 190.
Cortana was good. This is better.

Many would say that the worst place I’ve lived is Harahan, and they’d say that without knowing I spent a couple of childhood years on Avenue F in Port Allen.

Correct. It’s probably DC, not a fulfillment center. Regular local deliveries will come out of Siegen.
The site is actually much larger than what a DC would be though. The Amazon DC’s are about 130,000 square feet. My local DC sits on about 19 acres. This site is 65 acres.
So they are cooking up something very large there eventually, even if they are only starting with a piece of it.

I suspect Amazon wants a regional center on the I-10/I-12 corridor. We can joke about the bridge and everything but UPS somehow makes it work.
There are a lot of people between Laffy, Nola, BR, Hammond, Northshore etc. That's more than half of the state's population within 60-90 minutes. It makes sense to be fairly centralized.

Is Bethany not as big as they once were?

Are the beautiful crosses part of Amazon's distribution center, now?

There is a huge field between the creepy crosses and the church buildings. Amazon built on that field.

Who says SWB can't bring big business to BR?

Nothing creepy about a cross
