The world’s largest online retailer is investing $200 million in Shreveport to build its first robotic fulfillment center in Louisiana. Amazon Regional Director of Operations William Hicks says the state-of-the-art facility being in North Shreveport will provide more than 1,000 jobs.
“We provide our employees with at least $15 per hour and comprehensive benefits from the first day on the job,” said Hicks.
Hicks says since Amazon launched its operations in Louisiana it has grown its workforce to more than 2,000 employees.
Governor John Bel Edwards attended the announcement. Edwards says it was over a year ago when Louisiana Economic Development dedicated the 135-acre site in Hunter Industrial Park where Amazon will locate their robotics facility. Edwards says it was teamwork that was responsible for making it a reality.
