Amazon Plans Little Rock, Arkansas, Logistics Operations

08/01/2025
Amazon plans to establish logistics operations in Little Rock, Arkansas. The project is expected to create more than 1,000 jobs.

The company’s new 930,000-square-foot facility, located at the Port of Little Rock, is scheduled to begin operations by 2027.

"We're proud to continue investing in Arkansas and Little Rock with this new facility," said Andrea Fava, Vice President of Public Policy for Amazon. "This project will create 1,000 jobs with competitive benefits while helping us provide faster delivery and great service to our customers. We're grateful to state and local partners for their support in making this project possible."

Since 2010, Amazon has created 4,000 full and part-time jobs and invested more than $2.6 billion across the state.

“Amazon has steadily grown in Arkansas in recent years, and the latest logistics facility in Little Rock will only accelerate this growth in the Natural State,” noted Clint O’Neal, executive director of the Arkansas Economic Development Commission. “Little Rock is a national logistics hub, and Amazon will be well-served by the workforce they find in Central Arkansas. This facility will strengthen our state’s and the city’s logistics industry, while playing an important role in delivering value to Amazon customers.”

"In 2017, following our Love, Little Rock campaign, the Little Rock Regional Chamber had the opportunity to begin a new relationship with Amazon,” added Jay Chesshir, Little Rock Regional Chamber President and CEO. While we didn't have the primary requirements for HQ2, we knew that future projects could fit nicely within our community, region and economy. Thousands of new jobs, millions of square feet in building construction and billions of economic impact later, this next exciting project is further proof of the strong relationship that we've built. Thanks Amazon!"
