We’d like to thank the community of Republic and local and state leaders for their strong support in making this project possible.”
“Now more than ever, jobs like these are critical to Missourians and our economy,” said Missouri Governor Mike Parson. “Amazon’s expansion in Republic and the 500 new jobs it will create will greatly impact the local community and Missouri as a whole.
