Amazon will open a delivery center in the former Haldex building in eastern Blue Springs, the company and city announced Friday afternoon.
A city spokesperson said Amazon has not released how many jobs the move will bring. According to a city release, the company plans to be operating in the space by the end of 2021 and will start hiring about two months before opening.
The Amazon delivery center will be at 2400 N.E. Coronado Drive, just east of Adams Pointe Golf Club and south of Interstate 70. Haldex, a Swedish auto parts manufacturer, closed up shop in 2020 after announcing that it would transfer operations to its plant in Mexico for cheaper labor. That move cost about 150 local jobs.
