MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. Miami-Dade County Commissioner Dennis Moss is sponsoring an agreement to sell land to Amazon in order for the online giant to build a million-square-feet of warehouse space in Naranja near Homestead Air Reserve Base.
Moss office said allowing Amazon to build in the south Miami-Dade area would provide 325 jobs to the area with salaries starting at $32,000.
If the deal goes through, Amazon would join FedEx, the Steel Mill and other projects that are being considered, the news release stated.
Moss is also working on other projects with the administration, including finalizing a deal with Miami Wilds to build a water park at Zoo Miami.
If Amazon gets to build its warehouse space in south Miami-Dade, it has agreed to pay the county $22 million, with 25 percent (about $5.5 million) going to the Miami-Dade County Affordable Housing Trust Fund.
