Amazon plans 800K-square-foot warehouse in North Las Vegas

A new Amazon warehouse could bring over 1,000 jobs to the Las Vegas Valley. Amazon executives are expected to announce plans Wednesday to build a 800,000-square-foot fulfillment center in North Las Vegas. The new warehouse is expected to be at a new industrial complex under construction near the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The new facility is expected to pack and ship small items such as books, toys and household items. Amazon says the company will offer “competitive” pay and “comprehensive benefits starting on day one.” “This is Amazon’s third facility in North Las Vegas,” Mayor John Lee said. “A repeat customer is the best kind of customer, because it’s a testament to the quality we’re putting out and the results they’ve had in North Las Vegas.”
