Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: Amazon waives the planned distribution center in Schwerin

Schwerin (dpa/mv) - The online trading giant Amazon does not want to build a distribution center in Schwerin. "It is a pity that this investment does not come. We were already in contact with Amazon in 2020 and pushed the project forward," said Bernd Nottebaum, head of the state capital's economic department, on Tuesday. Accordingly, a distribution center was planned on 5.5 hectares with an investment volume of 22 million euros. Around 130 jobs should be created here from autumn 2022. It was initially unclear why Amazon was abandoning the project.
