Amazon plans to open a one million-square-foot distribution center in an existing building on Industrial Avenue in Carteret, N.J., the Record reported. It will be the second large fulfillment center in the state, joining one in Robbinsville that became operational last summer. Warehouse facilities in Woodbridge are also being used to deliver Amazon Fresh grocery orders in New York City and parts of New Jersey.
"We have not announced a timeline for opening, but we expect construction to move quickly, and we're excited to bring jobs and investment to Carteret," an Amazon spokesman told the Record.
Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno said Amazon "is doubling down its investment in New Jersey, showing other companies the value of growing their business in the Garden State.... it's a win for Amazon and the state."
