Amazon plans to open a one million-square-foot fulfillment center in Amarillo, Tex., by early 2022. Mark Marzano, director of operations at Amazon, said, "We look forward to becoming part of the fabric of the Amarillo community and are thrilled to be able to expand our operations in the Texas panhandle. We're grateful for the support we've received from local and state leaders."
Mayor Ginger Nelson said Amazon "will have a significant presence in Amarillo that will provide a boost to not only the Amarillo economy, but the economy of the entire Texas Panhandle."
Potter County Judge Nancy Tanner added that the "economic development success is a major achievement not only for Potter County, but Amarillo as a whole. The addition of this facility will go on to fuel economic growth for years to come."
