ORANGE COUNTY, N.Y.—The controversial Amazon warehouse and distribution center proposed for the town of Wawayanda has been blocked because the building would be well over the building height limit. The height of the building was a deal-breaker for Amazon, and further development seems unlikely.
On June 12, the Town of Wawayanda Zoning Board blocked the warehouse project because of the proposed building’s height of 104 feet. The area’s limit is 65 feet. The board did not grant the warehouse an exemption.
