— Dave Clark (@davehclark) January 12, 2018 CVG has already agreed to lease 900 acres to Amazon for 50 years, in addition to investing $5 million in infrastructure to support the hub. Last February, Amazon announced they would invest a staggering $1.5 billion to build a new, centralized air hub at Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport. Amazon’s new hub is expected to bring up to 2,700 new jobs to northern Kentucky. At least 600 jobs are anticipated to be full-time positions. The new Amazon hub will support its growing fleet of Prime Air cargo planes. Operations there will include loading, unloading and sorting packages.
