Amazon has curtailed staffing plans for its new warehouse in Marana.The company recently informed the town that the projected 500 to 700 employees has been lowered to 200 at the 65-acre site on Silverbell and Ina roads."They plan a slow roll," said Jason Angell, Marana's development services director. "They're going to slowly phase in but expect to begin operations this fall."Amazon did not give Marana a reason for the pairing down of jobs and did not respond to an interview request from the Star.
