Amazon to Bring 1,500 Jobs to Garner

Amazon to Bring 1,500 Jobs to Garner

Wow!

The town of Garner officially unveiled on Friday that it would be the new home of an Amazon distribution center.

The distribution center will be a four-story, 2.6-million-square-foot distribution center on Jones Sausage Road and will employ up to 1,500 people, town officials said at a press conference Friday morning.

Amazon will invest $200 million in the site, according to the town. Hillwood, a commercial real estate developer, will build the distribution center.

The project will be going in at 4851 Jones Sausage Road, the site of a former ConAgra plant that exploded in 2009. Work has already started on the site and is expected to be completed in the fall of 2019. Read more via newsobserver.com
