Amazon opens two delivery stations in Connecticut

Ahead of the year-end holiday season, Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) announced the opening of two new facilities in Connecticut.

The company is now operating a 105,000-square-foot facility on in Glastonbury and a 180,000-square-foot facility in South Windsor, and both sites will function as delivery stations in Amazon’s logistics network, serving as the last stop before packages arrive at customers’ doorsteps.

Amazon added that the two sites have already created more than 250 full- and part-time jobs.

“Amazon is proud to continue investing and growing in Connecticut. These two new delivery stations will not only help us better deliver for our customers here, but it also furthers our commitment to this state,” said Glendowlyn Thames, manager of economic development at Amazon in Connecticut. “We are excited to bring hundreds of new jobs with competitive pay and great benefits, including free upskilling opportunities, to these communities.”
