Growth and Opportunity in Rochester
WEB Two new Amazon facilities, just 12 miles apart on Rochester's west side, are on track to open in the fourth quarter of 2022, according to the company. The projects are expected to create hundreds of new jobs and support the region's growing e-commerce industry.
Eastman Business Park Expansion
One of the new facilities, located in the Eastman Business Park on Lexington Avenue, will span 180,000 square feet. This warehouse will generate 100 new jobs, including 50 full-time and 50 part-time positions.
Gates Warehouse and Distribution Center
The second facility, in the Town of Gates, was the nation's third-largest non-residential building project to commence in June, per Dodge Data Analytics. This expansive warehouse and distribution center will provide additional storage and fulfillment capabilities for Amazon.
Hiring and Community Impact
Amazon has already begun hiring for leadership and operations teams at the Gates facility. The company's presence in Rochester is expected to stimulate economic growth and job creation in the region.
Conclusion
Amazon's substantial investment in Rochester through these two new facilities underscores the company's commitment to the region. The expansion brings both opportunities and challenges, but it is undeniable that these projects will have a significant impact on the city's economy and workforce for years to come.
