CHURCHILL, Pa. — After months of meetings in which the company was the assumed elephant in the room, Amazon.com Inc. announced its intention to replace a long-outmoded office park with an enormous new distribution center along the Parkway East.
The proposal is by Texas-based Hillwood Development Co., which has presented a plan to Churchill Borough to redevelop the former George Westinghouse Research Park and its sprawling 144-acre site into a new Amazon distribution facility.
After the borough voted through a text amendment to allow the use of a distribution center in the community last year, Hillwood was before the Churchill Planning Commission on Wednesday evening. The planning commission voted to recommend the project on to council in a vote that happened before 1 a.m., according to several news sources. The plan is scheduled to be voted on next week by the borough’s council.
