BEFORE: At left, over the summer, as the Amazon project morphed from Project Schooner into a robotic fulfillment center for the world’s largest online retailer, the woodland off Hartford Avenue, near the intersection with Interstate-295, sat mostly undisturbed.     AFTER: At right, several months into construction, the site is practically unrecognizable. Note the same utility pole, to the right of both photos. The land has been carved and trees have been toppled. Only a small portion of the project can be seen from the road, though heavy equipment works away across the horizon and at least one crane towers above the remaining tree line.

Attention Johnston! Your Amazon facility has been shipped

The cranes stand at attention — sharp, pointed monoliths of “progress.” The metal skeleton has taken shape, forming the profile of what promises to be the largest building ever constructed in Rhode Island. Amazon has refused to give tours of the construction site looming on Johnston’s horizon.
