The Cottage Grove Village Board has given final approval to plans for an Amazon fulfillment center.
Monday’s action was the fourth and final step in the process – and it came despite the fact 12 of the 14 people who spoke were against the big project.
Work on the five-story warehouse and distribution center could start this year. Opponents asked that the final decision be delayed.
The center will mean 1,500 new jobs for the community outside of Madison.
