In Virginia Beach, Amazon is establishing two operational facilities and adding more than 1,000 jobs

Gov. Glenn Youngkin said Monday that two Amazon operations buildings will be built in Virginia Beach, employing over 1,000 workers.

In a news release, the Republican governor's office stated the store will open a robotics fulfillment facility in 2025 and a delivery station by the 2024 holidays.

Amazon will open its 14th fulfillment and sorting center in Virginia and 17th delivery station. The Arlington-based corporation has invested over $109 billion in Virginia since 2010, including infrastructure and employee remuneration, Youngkin's office claimed.

Youngkin stated, “Amazon's cutting-edge fulfillment centers generate major capital investment and thousands of jobs and strengthen Virginia's position as a logistics industry leader on the East Coast. “We see Amazon's expanding footprint impacting economic growth and innovation across the Commonwealth, and we will continue to compete for investment in Virginia.”
