Amazon plans to create 10-15 new package-sorting and delivery jobs in rural Jackson County by the end of the month.
Local economic development leaders shared the news with county commissioners at their regular meeting on Tuesday.
They say the company has already placed a few shipping containers in a parking lot located at 3529 Russell Rd., about a mile from the Marianna Municipal Airport.
“With COVID and everything, the two-day delivery has not been as possible as it was before,” said Zach Gilmore, the county’s director of business development. “In certain areas, where they’re not close to a large distribution center, they put these out there to where it’s a quicker delivery.”
