Amazon Explores New Operations Facility in Essex

Amazon says it’s exploring opening a small operations facility in Essex. The proposal calls for a 107,000-square-foot facility to be built on 23 acres off Kimo Drive, near Saxon Hill Road, a part of Essex Town that has a mix of residential and industrial development. “We’re exploring the possibility of opening a small operations facility in Essex, which would support providing fast delivery and great service to local customers. This process is in the early planning stages and additional steps remain,” An Amazon spokesperson said. They say Vermont does not have any Amazon operations facilities, and that the closest one is in Granville, New York.
