MARSHALL COUNTY, Miss.–A new Amazon facility is being built in Marshall County, said the Mississippi Development Authority, Tuesday.
More than 1,000 jobs will be available once it opens.
It is being built at the Chickasaw Trails Industrial Park, and will be nearly one million sq. ft.
“This new site will allow us to better serve customers in Marshall County and the surrounding area,” said Amazon Senior Manager of Economic Development Jessica Breaux, in a prepared statement.
“We’re grateful for our partnership with Mississippi Development Authority and Marshall County. We look forward to sharing more details about this facility in the future.”
Amazon plans to build the facility over the next three years.
Workers will be primarily responsible for receiving products, packaging them and sending them to fulfillment centers, which send them to customers.
