Amazon creating 1,000 jobs in Marshall County
Amazon is continuing its investment in Mississippi by locating inbound cross dock operations in Marshall County. The project will create 1,000 new jobs.
Amazon will construct a 930,000-square-foot facility in Chickasaw Trails Industrial Park that will receive and consolidate products from vendors. Amazon will then ship the products to surrounding fulfillment centers within its network.
Mississippi Development Authority is providing assistance through the Mississippi Flexible Tax Incentive, or MFLEX, program. MDA also is assisting with road improvements. Marshall County is assisting with the project, as well.
Amazon plans to complete the project and fill the new jobs over the next three years.
