The long-awaited Amazon distribution center on Sarno Road in Melbourne, which has remained unused since its completion in 2022, is now scheduled to open later this year. The 141,360 square-foot facility features a cutting-edge electric vehicle charging yard with the capacity to charge up to 737 vans simultaneously. Additionally, the center includes signalized entrances and exits to Eau Gallie Boulevard and two covered bus stops for better accessibility. This development is part of Amazon’s broader expansion plans in Florida, aiming to boost local employment and economic growth.

🚨 Appeals Court Lifts Block on Trump’s Anti-DEI Orders 🚨A federal appeals court has ruled in favor of the Trump administration, allowing executive orders that end government support for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs to be enforced while legal challenges continue.🔹 Trump’s orders direct federal agencies to cut equity-related grants and contracts.🔹 The city of Baltimore and advocacy groups sued, arguing this is an unconstitutional overreach.🔹 The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals lifted a nationwide block on these orders but acknowledged potential First Amendment concerns.🔹 Judges noted that stopping all DEI initiatives outright could have broader legal implications.Supporters of DEI argue these programs promote equal opportunities and address systemic racism. Opponents claim they threaten merit-based hiring and advancement.What do you think? Should the government fund DEI initiatives, or should they be eliminated?#DEI #Trump #Politics #Equity #Diversity #Inclusion #LegalNews ... See MoreSee Less
