The Czech Republic’s second largest city has rejected a plan by US retail giant Amazon to build a distribution center that would create 2,000 jobs. Brno mayor Roman Onderka said he thinks Tuesday’s decision by councilors means a “definite” end of the project. Onderka said he disagrees with the decision but has to accept it. He said that “Brno wasted an opportunity to get a strong investor” at a time when 23,000 local citizens are unemployed.
