HOT SPRINGS, Ark. — According to reports, Amazon will be opening a new last-mile facility in Hot Springs. Last-mile facilities are the final stops in Amazon’s transportation network before packages are delivered to customers’ doorsteps.
The new 35,500-square-foot facility will be located along Central Avenue, with renovations to the existing building scheduled to start in the coming weeks.
“This last-mile facility will allow us to better serve customers in Hot Springs and the surrounding area,” said Jessica Breaux, senior manager of economic development for Amazon. “We’re grateful for our partnership with the Hot Springs Chamber and the City of Hot Springs. We look forward to sharing more details about this facility in the future.”
Amazon currently employs around 4,000 people across Arkansas and has invested $1.9 billion in compensation and infrastructure in the state since 2010.
“We are beyond elated to welcome Amazon to Hot Springs”, said Gary Troutman, President/CEO of the Hot Springs Chamber and HS Metro Partnership. “Their reputation proceeds themselves as a majorly respected and admired global retailer, and we are thrilled to welcome them here to provide even more efficient last-mile service to the residents of our area.”
