COMING TO INDIANA: Amazon.com Inc. plans a $150 million warehouse and distribution center in southern Indiana after state officials gave the online retailer two more years before it has to start collecting sales taxes from customers.
THE DETAILS: The center in Jeffersonville is expected to open this fall and could have some 1,000 employees by 2015. Construction began last month.
CONCERNS: Many Indiana retailers — and some Republican legislators — object to the deal, saying it put traditional stores at a price disadvantage and that the tax collections should begin sooner.
