[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 834919, member: 1"] [B][URL="http://www.fitsnews.com/2011/05/05/is-brown-bolting-sc/"]Is Brown Bolting SC? - Fitsnews[/URL][/B] Could United Parcel Service (UPS) be the latest casualty in South Carolina’s “Amazonian War?” The Atlanta-based shipping company – which has operated a 313,000-foot facility at the Columbia Metropolitan Airport since 1996 – was reportedly counting on online retailer Amazon.com to build its “fulfillment center” in Lexington County. Not only would the Amazon center have provided a steady stream of business for UPS – but it would have reportedly provided the impetus for the completion of a new access road that UPS has been wanting for years. The Amazon project looks like a goner, however, after the S.C. House of Representatives overwhelmingly rejected a sales tax “safe harbor” for the company last week – a move that many claim was a sop to Walmart, which announced a major South Carolina expansion on Wednesday.
