Nevada ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE MINUTES (Re: Amazon taxes) "[Mr. Misener, continued.] Here in the state of Nevada, we have one of our largest fulfillment centers in Fernley. It has 850,000 square feet of fulfillment space. Not far away is another one in Stead, which has roughly 400,000 square feet. These facilities employ 850 people year-round and another 1,000 or so during our peak season, which is the fourth quarter of the year. We are very proud of the facilities here as we are of our facilities elsewhere around the country. We have similar facilities in Kentucky, Kansas, North Dakota, and Delaware. We have closed facilities in Seattle and Georgia, largely because of their local business economic climates. We take this very seriously. We?re very much aware of business climates, including tax policies, of the states in which we?re resident and those affect our decisions, but not on a global scale. I won?t tell you that if an inimical tax were passed here in Nevada we would shutter our facility in Fernley. That?s not the case, certainly not within any reasonable period of time. However, as we grow and expand our facilities we have choices that face us almost weekly, and certainly monthly, about how we allocate our resources around the country. Those choices are affected dramatically by local legislative policies."
