Amazon Announces New Fulfillment Center, Creating 800 New Jobs in Columbia County
Atlanta, GA - Governor Brian P. Kemp today announced that Amazon will further expand its Georgia presence with a new fulfillment center planned in Appling, Georgia. The new, multi-level operations facility will feature innovative Amazon robotics technology and create 800 new, full-time jobs.
"Amazon's continued investments in Georgia are a testament to all that our state can offer, including the logistics and top-notch workforce needed for their growing global business," said Governor Kemp. "I could not be more proud to welcome them to the Central Savannah River Area, and I am excited for the hardworking Georgians who will benefit from this new operation."
"We are proud to continue our investment in Georgia with great jobs and a new, state-ofthe-art fulfillment center in Columbia County to serve our customers across the state," said Robert Packett, regional director of Amazon operations. "The Peach State and its incredible workforce have been vital to our ability to provide great selection, competitive prices and the Prime services we know our customers love. We are excited to create 800 new full-time jobs, with industry leading pay and benefits on day one, in the community."
Amazon employees at the Appling location at White Oak Business Park will work alongside Amazon's innovative robotics technology to pick, pack, and ship smaller customer orders, such as books, toys, and small household goods.
"Amazon's announcement represents the single-largest project announcement ever in Columbia County, both for job creation and capital investment. We are thankful and excited to welcome Amazon and the jobs they are bringing to our community and White Oak Business Park at I-20," said Columbia County Board of Commissioners Chairman Doug Duncan. "I commend the effort and support of Governor Kemp, the Georgia Department of Economic Development, the Development Authority of Columbia County, and Columbia County's staff. Thank you Amazon, for selecting Columbia County."
