Amazon plans to open a 1.2 million-square-foot fulfillment center in North East, Md. The company currently operates two fulfillment and sortation centers in Baltimore. Akash Chauhan, v-p of North America operations, said the state "has an incredible workforce, and we are so happy to have this opportunity to expand in the state to serve customers."
"Creating jobs and growing Maryland's economy is a top priority of our administration," said Governor Larry Hogan, calling Amazon's continued investment in the state "a great example of companies that choose to locate and expand their business right here in Maryland--a testament to our state's growing economy."
