About a decade ago, a business park south of the DuPage Airport had just one operating business: a sales and repair office for a window company.
Today, the DuPage Business Center is almost fully built out, home to an Amazon distribution center that helped complete a remarkable turnaround at the massive campus in West Chicago.
Last summer, Amazon opened a last mile facility that handles packages for the last leg of delivery to customers. The 145,000-square-foot distribution hub brought about 250 employees, plus another 300 drivers, to the sprawling site.
