Amazon to Build Massive Fulfillment Center in Virginia

Amazon has announced plans for a large robotics fulfillment center in Goochland County.

The facility, to be located at 2022 Ashland Road, is expected to open in 2027. It will span 3.1 million square feet on a 107-acre parcel. The project will create more than 1,000 jobs.

The fulfillment center, a warehouse that stores smaller products and completes orders for sellers through robotic engineering, will be the company’s fourth robotic center in Virginia and its 10th facility in the larger Richmond area.

“Amazon’s continued expansion in Virginia is a testament to the collaboration between state, regional and local partners who are committed to smart, strategic growth,” said Juan Pablo Segura, the secretary of commerce and trade for Virginia. “Amazon’s latest investment will bring significant economic opportunity to the region.”

Since 2010, Amazon has invested more than $135 billion in Virginia and has created more than 42,000 jobs in the state.
