WALKER, Mich. — Online retail giant Amazon is looking to build a new facility in Walker, which could bring more than 150 jobs to the area.
Amazon plans on building a 113,000-square foot sorting and delivery center on 4 Mile Road, across the street from Kenowa Hills High School.
According to the plan, there will be parking, new public road construction, and traffic signal updates put in place at 4 Mile Road and Hendershot Avenue.
However, before the building process can begin, Amazon needs the green light from the city.
The Walker Planning Commission will be holding a hearing on the proposal Wednesday, Oct. 7 at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall. The public will have a chance to comment.
