Amazon Will Open 1M-SF Facility in Missouri City

Amazon plans to open its first fulfillment center in Missouri City. The new fulfillment center, which is anticipated to launch in 2021, will span one million square feet and create more than 500 new full-time jobs,

“We’re excited to be expanding our network of operations in Missouri City,” said Alicia Boler Davis, Amazon’s VP of global customer fulfillment. “We are grateful for the strong support we’ve received from local and state leaders as we broaden our footprint throughout Texas.

In the new fulfillment center, Amazon associates will pick, pack, and ship bulky or larger-sized customer items such as patio furniture, outdoor equipment, or rugs. “We are looking forward to this new business model, which focuses on customer service and expands the economy as this is another partnership that will build on our commercial tax base, helping to ease the property tax burden on residents,” said Missouri City Mayor Yolanda Ford.
