WAWAYANDA, N.Y.—An Amazon warehouse proposal that was denied in June was approved in the town of Wawayanda, shortly after an $80 million tax break was green-lit for the warehouse.

The Wawayanda Planning Board approved a height exemption for a 3.2 million-square-foot Amazon warehouse on Oct. 22. The warehouse proposal had been denied on June 11 because it exceeded the 65-foot area height restriction. The warehouse will be 96 feet tall.
