Amazon reopens Connecticut construction site where nooses were found

Amazon is resuming construction of a new facility in Windsor, Connecticut, after halting operations there last week when the seventh case of a “rope which could be interpreted as a noose” was found at the site.

“The site has reopened and we are committed to working with the Town and Windsor Police Department, as well as our development partners, to hold the perpetrators accountable and ensure that all members of our community feel valued, respected and safe,” Amazon spokesperson Kelly Nantel said. “Hate, racism or discrimination have no place in our society and are certainly not tolerated in any Amazon workplace — whether it be under construction like this one, or fully operational,” she added.
