From Maryville Daily Times,

"Originally planned to begin operations in May 2022, the first Blount County Amazon warehouse in Alcoa, off South Singleton Station Road, is postponing opening until June 2023.

However, the facility, commonly known as “Project Pearl,” will still be built on time."

Amazon communications manager for Tennessee and Mississippi communicated that, "It’s common for us to adjust launch timetables based on capacity needs across the network.”
