Amazon has received preliminary approval for a $16 million property tax break from the Development Authority of Fulton County, Georgia as part of a $500 million project to convert an existing 1.1 million-square-foot warehouse into a state-of-the-art fulfillment center with robotics and 750 new jobs.

Why it matters
