Regarding the planned Amazon project near the Eugene Airport, I am excited for Amazon to open this facility. It will bring much-needed jobs to the area, and they will be good paying jobs.

The people opposing the project for environmental reasons need to get a clue. This property is no more a wetland than the land behind the Walmart on West 11th Avenue is.
