Amazon Plans Goochland County, Virginia, Fulfillment Operations

05/16/2025
Amazon plans to establish operations in Goochland County, Virginia. The project is expected to create more than 1,000 jobs.

The company will construct a 3.1-million-square foot robotics fulfillment hub on a 107-acre parcel.

“Virginia continues to be a great home for Amazon thanks to its robust infrastructure, talented workforce, and supportive business environment,” said Amazon’s Vice President of Worldwide Economic Development and Public Policy, Holly Sullivan. “We’re proud to officially break ground on our fourth robotics fulfillment center in the commonwealth, furthering our substantial investment in Virginia. This new 3.1 million-square-foot fulfillment center represents our commitment to innovation and job creation right here in Virginia. We’re grateful to Governor Youngkin, the Goochland County leaders, and all our partners across Virginia for their ongoing support in making this possible.”

The facility is the company’s fourth robotics fulfillment center in the State of Virginia.

“Amazon’s continued expansion in Virginia is a testament to the collaboration between state, regional and local partners who are committed to smart, strategic growth,” noted Secretary of Commerce and Trade Juan Pablo Segura. “This project is the result of long-term planning in Goochland County and strong infrastructure investments by the Commonwealth. Amazon’s latest investment will bring significant economic opportunity to the region.”

“Having the right transportation infrastructure is essential to attracting and growing business,” added Secretary of Transportation W. Sheppard Miller III. “I am pleased that we could partner with Amazon to deliver a critical transportation project that directly supports their fourth robotic fulfillment center in the Commonwealth. Through our best-in-class SMART SCALE prioritization process, we were able to support this important transportation project and drive economic development. I look forward to our continued partnership with Amazon.”
