Amazon Plans North Randall, Ohio, Fulfillment Center
08/25/2017
"Our ability to expand in Ohio is the result of two things: incredible customers and an outstanding workforce in the state," said Sanjay Shah, Amazon's Vice President of North American Customer Fulfillment. "We very much appreciate the state and local elected leaders who have supported Amazon's arrival in North Randall and look forward to bringing more jobs and investment in the coming months."
Amazon employees at the more than 855,000-square-foot fulfillment center will pick, pack and ship smaller customer items such as electronics, toys and books. The company currently employs more than 4,500 full-time hourly associates at its two existing Ohio fulfillment centers in Etna and Obetz.
"Along with Team NEO and the Village of North Randall, the Cleveland Port Authority, and the Greater Cleveland Partnership, we are pleased to partner with Amazon to revitalize and bring jobs back to a property that has stood vacant for too long," said John Minor, President & Chief Investment Officer of JobsOhio. "Amazon's investment at a site where the nation's largest shopping mall once stood will now support digital retail jobs."
"Words cannot begin to express what Amazon's commitment to the development of its fulfillment center means for the Village of North Randall," said Mayor David Smith. "This is a generational project that not only redefines the future of our community but the future of more than 2,000 Cuyahoga County residents who will be employed at the facility."
