Amazon building new delivery station in El Paso
EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) -- Amazon has purchased a property in El Paso with the intention to open a delivery station.
Delivery stations power the last step of the Amazon order process. A neighboring Amazon Fulfillment and Sortation Center ships packages to the delivery stations, then loaded into delivery vehicles and taken to customers. That is according to a spokesperson for the company.
The company says the construction of this distribution site is expected to support fast deliveries to customers.
Permits have been issued, and construction of the new amazon distribution facility is already underway.
The city also says Amazon’s $51.5 million investment will bring additional long-term growth and expanded operations to El Paso.
Amazon says that since 2010, it has created more than 86,000 full- and part-time jobs in Texas alone, in addition to investing $70 billion in the economy.
The company provided the following statement:
"We’ve purchased this property with intent of opening a delivery station in El Paso, which would support fast delivery and great service to local customers. This process is in the early stages and we look forward to sharing more when we can."
