Gov. Kay Ivey Tuesday announced Amazon plans to open three new operations facilities in Alabama while also launching a new fulfilment center. The expansion will create 900 jobs in Montgomery, Huntsville, and Birmingham, Ivey said. “Amazon’s decision to simultaneously launch and announce these projects in Alabama shows the high level of confidence the company has in the abilities of our hard-working citizens, who have shown time and time again that they can get the job done,” Ivey said. “Companies from around the world have discovered that Alabama offers them all the ingredients of success, and this is another prime example.”
Brian Huseman, vice president of public policy at Amazon, said the Seattle-based internet retail giant is proud to expand its investment in Alabama. “Our success would not be possible without our great employees, and we are grateful for the enthusiasm and strong state and local support we have received since first launching operations in 2020,” Huseman said. “We look forward to continued investment as we innovate and grow to better serve our customers across the state.”
