ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. Amazon’s expansion on Albuquerque’s West Side is set to include more than just the originally planned fulfillment center.
The company announced on Thursday that, in addition to its five story, 2.5 million-square-foot fulfillment center, Amazon is also building a 270,000-square-foot sortation or sorting center at the same campus near Atrisco Vista Boulevard and Interstate 40.
An Amazon delivery station at Bluewater Road and Airport Drive NW also opened earlier this year, according to the company.

“Amazon is making a very large investment here, and that’s good,” Bernalillo County Commissioner Debbie O’Malley said. “That’s good for the community in terms of jobs.”
