University Park officials announced last week a new Fulfillment Center will be coming to the area, supporting 800 new jobs. This will be the sixth Amazon site in Illinois, joining others located in Monee, Joliet, Edwardsville, Aurora and Chicago.
The move comes as the global company continues to expand its reach in the Midwest, specifically looking to leverage Will County’s logistics and transportation infrastructure.
The announcement follows long running speculation regarding the development of the site, which had been previously targeted by local officials as a key opportunity for tax revenue and workforce expansion.
