While many believe Amazon is trying to set up shop on Grand Island, developers behind an e-commerce facility proposed to be built on the island remain quiet on who could be running the warehouse. On Monday night, lawyers for the developers pitched the project once again to town officials.

“Let us live in peace the way we’ve always had,” said Tom Igiel of Grand Island.

That’s how some Grand Islanders feel about a project TC Buffalo Development is proposing to build on Long Road. They’re looking to build an e-commerce storage and distribution facility for consumer products. It would bring in at least 1,000 jobs. Some believe Amazon is trying to move in. Island residents at the meeting say if that’s the case, they’re against it.

“It’s just not right, just not right,” said Cathy Knight of Grand Island.

Lawyers for TC Buffalo outlined the project to the town planning board Monday night. Like the town board last week, traffic was one of the main concerns for the planning board. SRF Associates conducted a traffic study for the project last fall on several intersections in the town, but some think more research needs to be done.

“They’re not here when you can’t get on the island because the roundabout is backed up to get off the island,” said Igiel.

“You want to be here that bad? Build another bridge,” Knight said.

People are also worried that the island’s green space is under attack.

“About 30 years ago, my husband and I moved our family here on the island because it was advertised as a bedroom community. Everybody goes off to work, comes home at night," Knight said.

The planning board now wants the developer’s lawyers to come back with answers to their questions. They’ve also scheduled a public hearing in two weeks. They haven’t announced a location or time for the public hearing. The town board will have its own public hearing on the project on April 8 at 7 p.m. at Grand Island Senior High School. Residents say they’ll be there.

“Best case scenario they go away, just go away, leave us alone, and leave our island alone,” Igiel said.
