"Project Mango" proposes building one of the largest warehouses in the panhandle (823,173 square foot Amazon fulfillment center) at the old car museum property at the intersection of I10 and Mahan drive.  The warehouse is a distribution center that will have a constant flow of semi trucks.  It will park in clear sight hundreds of semi truck trailers within its parking lot and at its numerous loading bays.  This property is currently not zoned for heavy industrial uses. 

Make no mistake, this will fundamentally change east Tallahassee to a heavy industrial area.

These fulfillment centers are routinely built far outside of cities, in pastures far away from schools and homes, but Project Tango proposes placing it directly within our residential area.  The car museum area they are proposing is an activity center approved for a mall, homes, condos, or light industrial.  All properties surrounding this land are zoned residential preserve, suburban, or residential. 

We are not opposed to an Amazon fulfillment center.  We are opposed to transforming east Tallahassee into an industrial park/warehouse district.  We have land use planning in Tallahassee and Leon County.  We are requesting that our land use planners do their jobs and place a project like this in an area that is planned for industrial use.

We are asking our elected officials to be a voice for our community.  Please sign our petition and email Commission Kristin Dozier to make your voice heard!
