Florida’s St. Lucie County braces for ‘Amazon effect,’ but is that a good thing?

Commercial Circle in St. Lucie County, just west of Fort Pierce, Florida, will soon be home to a new Amazon delivery station.

See what Dr. Kumar had to say about the effects of the Amazon warehouse on the local business community in a story from TCPalm, a USA Today newspaper.
