The checkered flag is out on Project Speedway, with online retailer Amazon first across the finish line.
The governor’s office announced Wednesday that Amazon will locate a robotics fulfillment center in the 2.6 million-square-foot industrial complex that Texas-based Hillwood Enterprises is planning on land north of Richmond Raceway.
The center is expected to create 1,000 jobs, despite the robotics technology involved with the facility. It’s slated to start operations in 2022 and will be the first of its kind in Central Virginia. A similar facility, in Suffolk, was announced last year and is slated to open later this year.
