Construction has resumed at the new Amazon facility in Windsor, the focus of an intense investigation into hate crimes, after the site was shut down to tighten security.

Amazon spokeswoman Kelly Nantel said Monday that while work has restarted on the $200 million building, the company remains committed to working with the town and police “to hold the perpetrators accountable and ensure that all members of our community feel valued, respected and safe.”

Work on the 3.6-million-square-foot building on Kennedy Road was halted last week after a piece of rope with a loop at the end was found draped over a beam.
