JACKSON, TENNESSEE – An opening date has not been announced, but construction continues on an Amazon ‘last mile’ facility in Jackson-Madison County, which will allow the company to better serve customers in west Tennessee.

Located near Central Distributors, the 65,000-square-foot facility is being constructed off Highway 223 and Lager Lane in Jackson.

Last mile facilities prepare customer orders for delivery.

Amazon’s presence in Tennessee includes multiple operation centers and a corporate office in Nashville.
