Amazon plans to open a new fulfillment center in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, creating 500 new jobs.
That’s according to an announcement from Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s administration Wednesday.
According to a news release, the facility in Augusta County is expected to be operational in spring 2023 and will add to Amazon’s existing workforce of more than 30,000 full- and part-time employees in Virginia.
The 1 million-square-foot facility in Fishersville will be responsible for picking, packing and shipping large or bulky items like patio furniture, outdoor equipment and rugs.
