(CNN) After yet another apparent noose was discovered at the construction site of an Amazon fulfillment center in Windsor, Connecticut on Wednesday, local NAACP officials and town leaders voiced their outrage with Amazon and law enforcement authorities for not taking the proper precautions before workers returned earlier this week. According to town police chief Donald Melanson, however, Amazon will be reopening the site Thursday after it was closed down again on Wednesday following the discovery of the latest noose. An Amazon spokeswoman declined to provide CNN further comment on when the site will be reopened. Safety precautions also include having five officers stationed at the site with the private security Amazon had hired. "This one was clearly a noose," Melanson noted during the press conference Wednesday, adding that it remains unclear when it was originally placed.
