Amazon confirms placement of fulfillment center in Amarillo
Officials with Amazon announced plans Thursday to open a new fulfillment center in Amarillo, creating more than 500 new full-time jobs for the area and having an approximate $35 million economic impact on the city when it is expected to open in early 2022.
This comes after the Potter County Commissioners’ Court and the Amarillo City Council approved a tax abatement agreement from the Amarillo Economic Development Corporation among the county, city, Happy Horizons Properties, LP, ET Amarillo LLC and Amazon.com Services LLC.
According to previous Globe-News reports, the fulfillment center will be a new, 1 million-square-foot facility located on 110.39 acres at NE 24th Street and Loop 335. There will be $100 million in capital investment for the facility, with $70 million going toward the building itself and $30 million in equipment.
