Amazon plans 1,000 jobs with new Mississippi facility

Amazon is investing in a new 930,000-square-foot inbound cross-dock facility in Marshall County, Mississippi, which is expected to create 1,000 jobs over the next three years. The facility, located in Chickasaw Trails Industrial Park, will receive and consolidate products from vendors before shipping them to nearby fulfillment centers within Amazon's network. The Mississippi Development Authority is supporting the project through the Mississippi Flexible Tax Incentive program and infrastructure improvements. Local officials and Governor Tate Reeves have praised Amazon's continued investment, citing the positive economic impact and signaling Mississippi's growing appeal for major corporate projects. Amazon already operates other facilities in the state, further strengthening its presence in the region. The project underscores Marshall County's emergence as a significant hub for advanced logistics and industrial development.
