Amazon and Marshall County, Miss., are on the go-and-grow plan. The company announced last week it will open a second fulfillment center in the Chickasaw Trail Industrial Park. Amazon’s initial facility reported employment of 1,241 last quarter, said Justin Hall, executive director of the Marshall County Industrial Development Authority. The new operation will employ “hundreds,” according to a press release from Amazon. The second operation will occupy a Panattoni Development Company speculative building under construction at the intersection of Gateway Global Drive and Highway 302, across from McCormick. Unlike Amazon’s other facility, Hall said this one will be bigger – more than 1M square feet - for shipping customer items like furniture, mattresses, kayaks, grills and exercise equipment. Hall said the project is on fast track, and is tentatively schedule to be completed in the fall. (Source: The South Reporter 04/29/21) Amazon picks Marshall, again | The South Reporter
