Amazon, the behemoth retail and distribution company headquartered in Seattle, Washington, will locate a distribution center employing about 200 people in this Henderson County town.
“In these times when there’s so much economic uncertainty, and honestly so many jobs being lost, it’s really nice to see some good news,” said Mills River Town Manager Daniel Cobb. “And that is that the facility going up there on Fanning Fields Road is an Amazon Distribution Center.”
The large building under construction near U.S. 280 (Boylston Highway) has posed an intriguing mystery, with the town previously saying only that it would be a distribution center of some kind. But Cobb was able to confirm the Amazon name on May 13.
