The new 700,000sq ft site will be in the greater Omaha area and create 1000 full-time jobs.
Employees will work alongside Amazon robotics to pick, pack and ship small items to customers such as books, electronics and toys.
Alicia Boler Davis, Vice President of Global Customer Fulfilment at Amazon commented: “We are thrilled to be opening our first fulfilment centre in the great state of Nebraska and bringing 1,000 full-time jobs with industry-leading pay and benefits to greater Omaha. Amazon leverages its scale for good and makes investments to support communities. We appreciate the strong support from local and state leaders throughout the process, and we look forward to supporting the Nebraska community with great delivery options.”
