Amazon Nabs Tax Incentives for Central Ohio

Amazon, which began collecting Ohio's sales tax in June, received approval for state tax incentives estimated at $17.5 million from the Ohio Tax Credit Authority on Monday. The Columbus Dispatch reported the online retailer "plans to build distribution centers in Obetz and Licking County, but exact locations haven't been determined."

The Ohio Development Services Agency said Amazon "told the state it's looking at unspecified sites in Etna Township in southwest Licking County and the village of Obetz near Rickenbacker International Airport," but "the e-commerce giant also is considering sites elsewhere as it looks to put two fulfillment centers in the Midwest," Columbus Business First wrote.

"Ohio is competing with multiple Midwest states for both fulfillment centers," the state said.
