Amazon has announced it will bring 500 new full-time jobs to Clarksville with a new, state-of-the-art fulfillment center.
Tennessee Governor Bill Lee’s Office says Amazon will create 500 full-time jobs with comprehensive benefits at the new one-million-square-foot fulfillment center, where employees will pick, pack and ship larger customer items, such as bulk paper goods, sports equipment, patio furniture and larger home goods and electronics.
The Clarksville facility is expected to launch in 2022 and will be Amazon’s tenth fulfillment center in Tennessee.
Amazon currently operates fulfillment and sortation centers in Charleston, Chattanooga, Lebanon, Memphis, Murfreesboro and Nashville. The company is in the midst of building Amazon Nashville, a new downtown office that will bring more than 5,000 tech and corporate jobs to Nashville.
Khandra Smalley is the chair of the Clarksville-Montgomery County Industrial Development Board and says, “It is thrilling to welcome Amazon to our Industrial Park. Their selection of Clarksville-Montgomery County is a testament to the mission of the IDB, which is to help foster growth in the community through the recruitment of industry and good-paying jobs to Clarksville.”
