Amazon.com Inc. is building a new air hub near Cincinnati to support a growing fleet of planes that can move inventory around the U.S. so online shoppers get their orders quickly.
Amazon, No. 1 in the Internet Retailer 2016 Top 500 Guide, will invest $1.49 billion to build the facility on 900 acres at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, said Mindy Kershner, an airport spokeswoman. The airport is located in Hebron, Ky., and is southwest of Cincinnati.
