Amazon reportedly signs lease for new Greenwood 'receive center'
GREENWOOD, Ind. – Amazon is bringing a new "receive" center to Greenwood.
The company reportedly signed a lease Tuesday night to open up the facility on the east side of Greenwood, according to Fox59.
The project is expected to add around 1,250 jobs and Amazon is committing $80M to the project. The average pay is expected to be around $14.50 an hour.
In September, the city-council voted to give the Seattle-based company $7 million in tax abatements over a ten year period.
The proposed site is the same area where FedEx pulled its distribution center from, along the east side of I-65 near Graham Rd.
