Now that Amazon's new warehouse is about to open in North Haven, we should focus on the broader effects of its presence. Although politicians tend to focus on employment, we should also consider the other businesses brought here by Amazon. We have had two large deals recently, where the buyer chose the location because it was a supplier to Amazon, or provided a service that it would purchase. Investors, developers, and builders, please take note.
Since all of those other organizations employ people as well, plus they pay taxes and buy goods and services, this is very good news for our region. Warehouse space is becoming more desirable, and other companies will build from scratch. The multiplier effect will be in full force! Employees will also buy houses, cars, and durable goods, plus eat out, give to charities, and pay taxes. And that will be good for all of us.
