A new Amazon distribution center will be coming to Fort Pierce. <\/p>\n
The City Commission has approved a major site plan amendment to allow for the construction of the more than one million square foot facility along Kings Highway. <\/p>\n
It will include a refrigerated warehouse and office space on a nearly seventy acre site. It’s expected to create more than 700 jobs for the area. <\/p>\n
The project also represents a $240 million investment in the city’s infrastructure and tax base. <\/p>\n
The developer behind the project says there could be a second phase in the future that would add another 500,000 square feet and 500 additional jobs. <\/p>\n
Construction is estimated to take nearly two years with a targeted opening in March of 2028. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new Amazon distribution center will be coming to Fort Pierce.
