{Hebron, Kentucky}...Amazon.com is planning to expand in northern Kentucky. Boone County Judge-Executive Gary Moore says Amazon has indicated it will hire up to 900 full-time, permanent employees and may need another 5,000 seasonal workers. Amazon spokesman Kelly Cheeseman confirmed hundreds of full-time employees are expected to be hired this year at the Hebron distribution center. Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce President Steve Stevens says the announcement gives a needed boost to the area after Delta Air Lines announced last month that it would cease its Comair operations in the region by September 29th and lay off about 1,000 workers.
