Amazon Logo Amazon has confirmed they are building a 1.3 million-square-foot fulfillment facility at the Military Business Park. According to a press release, this new facility will create more than 500 full-time jobs with hundreds of additional part-time opportunities.  

“Amazon is excited to expand operations in Cumberland County, North Carolina, investing in a new fulfillment center in Fayetteville,” said Amazon Spokesperson Nikki Forman. “We are committed to providing efficient delivery for customers and creating hundreds of jobs

This is the second building Amazon has under construction in Cumberland County. In May of 2021, Amazon announced a new last-mile facility. That facility is currently under construction at 1005 Dunn Road.

“I welcome the significant positive impact that Amazon will make here. The fact that Amazon has twice selected to invest in our area sends a strong signal to other potential employers about the many wonderful benefits this region has to offer, from our central location to the thriving workforce, and excellent business climate," Fayetteville Mayor Mitch Colvin said in the press release.

The City of Fayetteville and Cumberland County each approved up to $1.25 million to help assist with infrastructure improvements. For Amazon to receive the grants it must commit to investing $100 million in real estate and equipment in Cumberland County over the next five years and hire more than 500 full-time workers with an average annual wage of about $33,000.

“This Amazon facility in the Military Business Park means hundreds of new jobs for our County, as well as economic growth and advancement. This transformative investment is a major win for our community,” said County Commission Chairman Glenn Adams. “A sincere thanks goes out to Amazon’s representatives as well as Cloteen Jasmin, Senior Vice President of Development at Ryan Companies, who have been collaborating with FCEDC on the project since April. This project has an incredibly aggressive timeline, and we cannot wait to celebrate its opening in 2023. Thanks to all those who collaborated to make this a success.”

The new warehouse facility at the Military Business Park is expected to open in 2023.
