05/03/2025
Amazon plans to establish distribution operations in Sedalia, Pettis County, Missouri.

The company will construct a 65,000-square-foot last-mile facility on 15 acres at the Thompson Meadows Industrial Park.

"We're proud of the job creation we're bringing to Sedalia and this last-mile facility will allow us to better serve our growing customer base throughout west central Missouri with faster delivery speeds," said Jason Vangalis, Amazon Economic Development Manager. "We're grateful for our collaboration with all of our area partners, along with the region's skilled workforce and strategic location, which were all positive factors in Amazon building a new site in Missouri."

To support the project Economic Development Sedalia – Pettis County worked with several partners including Sedalia Pettis County Community Service Corporation, City of Sedalia, Pettis County, the Missouri Department of Economic Development, Missouri Partnership, Liberty Utilities, Evergy, State Fair Community College, and VanTrust Real Estate.

"Amazon's decision to expand its operations in Sedalia underscores Missouri's strategic advantages, including our prime location in the center of the U.S.," noted Subash Alias, CEO of Missouri Partnership. "This investment strengthens Missouri's role as a leading logistics and distribution hub, providing companies with unparalleled access to customers nationwide. We are proud to have supported this project and look forward to Amazon's continued success in our state."

"The Thompson Meadows Industrial Park's certified site status was a major factor in attracting Amazon to Sedalia and Pettis County," added Jessica Craig, Executive Director of Economic Development Sedalia – Pettis County. "Having a site that is development-ready makes it easier for companies to invest and grow here. Amazon's presence will enhance our region's economic strength and provide new job opportunities for our residents and region."
