NORTH RANDALL, Ohio – A few dozen public officials, economic-development leaders and journalists wound their way through Amazon’s hulking North Randall fulfillment center on Wednesday, getting an early glimpse of a logistics hub set to start humming in mid-September.

Amazon expects to employ more than 2,000 people in North Randall by mid-October.
