College Station City Council Reviews Amazon’s Recent Drone Open House
The end of the last College Station city council meeting (April 25, 2024) was a discussion about the recent open house by Amazon’s drone delivery service. Linda Harvell was one of at least two councilmembers who joined homeowners who live next or near Amazon’s drone-port. There was no opposition to her request for staff to research if the city could do anything to move the drone delivery operation to an industrial area. Councilman Dennis Maloney, who also attended the open house, said that he was told Amazon’s new drone vehicle will be 40 percent quieter. The council also heard from one public speaker, a homeowner who lives in the vicinity of the Amazon operation, who brought up the continued disruption due to noise levels generated by the drones.
