FOX 44<\/a>) \u2013 Amazon announced it would be expanding its Central Texas footprint with a new facility planned for the City of Robinson.<\/p>\nThe 119,000-square-foot delivery station will be located along John Bowden Parkway. It will serve as a \u201clast-mile\u201d site, designed to help speed up deliveries across Robinson and the greater Waco area.<\/p>\n
This marks Amazon\u2019s second location in the region, following the 2022 opening of its robotic fulfillment center in Waco. The project is expected to bring new jobs and continued economic growth to the area.<\/p>\n
\u201cAmazon\u2019s already a great contributor to the economic growth and vitality of the community,\u201d Waco Chamber of Commerce Executive Vice President of Economic Development Kris Collins said. \u201cThey employ well over 1,500 workers just in our market alone. And so, this is going to expand that employment base. It\u2019s going to expand the tax base for both the City of Waco and the City of Robinson.\u201d<\/p>\n
Projects like this align with the Waco Chamber\u2019s long-term vision for growth in the area.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen major companies like this are selecting your community, it opens the door for others, and it also makes people take a second look and go, \u2018If this community is a great fit for this company, it\u2019s probably going to be a great fit for us, as well,’\u201d Collins expressed.<\/p>\n
City and county leaders say having companies like Amazon invest locally helps strengthen the community\u2019s business portfolio and showcase the region as a hub for industry and innovation.<\/p>\n
