Too much resistance in Graz-Liebenau
The online retailer had originally designed its distribution center and multi-storey car park in the southern district of Liebenau in Graz and had already submitted the relevant applications to the city of Graz. However, resident resistance grew rapidly. It was feared that there would be massive traffic from the numerous parcel vehicles. As there is no environmental impact assessment in this sense, the city of Graz also filed a complaint against the relevant assessment notice. Eventually, Amazon withdrew all applications and looked for a new location.
More details next week
It has now been found in Premstätten. It has long been rumored that it will be built on land near the Samsung and Magirus Lohr battery factory. Now everything seems to be over. The VGP, as the developer of the location, wants to present the details together with the mayor and Amazon Logistics next week. In any case, completion is scheduled for November 2023, according to the invitation to open the construction site on Tuesday.
