"In February 2022, Amazon, still racing to add capacity, planned to open two delivery stations in Michigan just 10 miles apart. One in Ypsilanti would displace 1,500 trees but create 577 jobs; the other in Pittsfield would bring hundreds of jobs for delivery drivers and hundreds more for workers inside the warehouse, according to Michigan Live. But the Pittsfield project has been delayed, and Amazon canceled the Ypsilanti project altogether."

The Amazon facility would have been across the street from the Ford plant on Textile, if I remember correctly. Sad it didn't come to life, but I can imagine it would have caused big changes to traffic in the area.
