00:00:05.638 --> 00:00:06.940
>> Welcome back to the show

00:00:07.006 --> 00:00:08.341
from Fort Wayne in the heart

00:00:08.408 --> 00:00:10.143
of Allen County, Northeast

00:00:10.210 --> 00:00:11.111
Indiana. Where efforts are

00:00:11.177 --> 00:00:12.245
underway to make this region

00:00:12.312 --> 00:00:16.816
an e-commerce hub. Amazon is

00:00:16.883 --> 00:00:18.184
investing in a big way here,

00:00:18.251 --> 00:00:19.119
and there are major

00:00:19.185 --> 00:00:20.019
improvements at Fort Wayne

00:00:20.086 --> 00:00:20.653
international Airport. First,

00:00:20.720 --> 00:00:21.788
the evolution of the airport

00:00:21.855 --> 00:00:22.722
and the West terminal

00:00:22.789 --> 00:00:24.124
expansion completed in March

00:00:24.190 --> 00:00:25.024
that includes two new

00:00:25.091 --> 00:00:27.894
passenger gates, and get this,

00:00:27.961 --> 00:00:28.828
glass passenger boarding jet

00:00:28.895 --> 00:00:30.630
bridges. Something you really

00:00:30.697 --> 00:00:33.299
don't see everyday. Gates five

00:00:33.366 --> 00:00:34.300
through seven currently being

00:00:34.367 --> 00:00:37.237
renovated. Fort Wayne

00:00:37.303 --> 00:00:38.204
international also reason he

00:00:38.271 --> 00:00:39.105
opened its terminal drive,

00:00:39.172 --> 00:00:42.742
after it underwent a major

00:00:42.809 --> 00:00:47.781
facelift. While connecting the

00:00:47.847 --> 00:00:48.882
airport to e-commerce also

00:00:48.948 --> 00:00:50.049
part of the canonic strategy

00:00:50.116 --> 00:00:56.823
and Fort Wayne late last year

00:00:56.890 --> 00:00:58.224
Amazon opened a huge new for

00:00:58.291 --> 00:00:59.359
film and center at the

00:00:59.426 --> 00:01:00.260
airport, creating hundreds of

00:01:00.326 --> 00:01:05.865
new jobs, Amazon also building

00:01:05.932 --> 00:01:06.766
large dissolution center on

00:01:06.833 --> 00:01:08.334
West side Fort Wayne just a

00:01:08.401 --> 00:01:13.773
little over 10 thousand people

00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:15.375
expect his work there. Speaker

00:01:15.442 --> 00:01:16.543
what happened with Amazon is

00:01:16.609 --> 00:01:18.044
that really they chose where

00:01:18.111 --> 00:01:21.214
to go because they already do

00:01:21.281 --> 00:01:22.482
the due diligence, so the

00:01:22.549 --> 00:01:24.984
question is if we're good

00:01:25.051 --> 00:01:26.319
enough one of the top and

00:01:26.386 --> 00:01:28.121
centers of Amazon that you

00:01:28.188 --> 00:01:29.756
know you could be good for so

00:01:29.823 --> 00:01:30.890
many others are just basically

00:01:30.957 --> 00:01:32.292
on par, so they volleyed the

00:01:32.358 --> 00:01:33.493
market the ability to service

00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:34.828
commerce hub for us that you

00:01:34.894 --> 00:01:36.563
know, beyond the investment,

00:01:36.629 --> 00:01:37.630
then you know the micro

00:01:37.697 --> 00:01:38.164
approval you know, that's

00:01:38.231 --> 00:01:38.498
peaceful use.

00:01:38.565 --> 00:01:40.867
>> Certainly e-commerce

00:01:40.934 --> 00:01:42.001
industry fusion logistics and

00:01:42.068 --> 00:01:43.069
emerging sectors of the
