City Council member Aaron Bowman said at the close of the Council meeting Jan. 26 that the new Westside Amazon.com center will be a $40 million project that creates 200 jobs.
Bowman, the District 3 Council representative, is senior vice president of business development of JAX Chamber.
WJCT News partner the Jacksonville Daily Record reported he referred to an announcement of the 280,000-square-foot facility, although the Seattle-based retailer has not issued a news release about it.
