Amazon is coming to New Mexico, according to a release sent by Bernalillo County Tuesday citing a public infrastructure improvement project.
On the second to the last paragraph, the release refers to construction of a 465,000 square foot, multi-level Amazon fulfillment center, already under way.
According to the release, the facility is expected to open in late 2021.
The center is being built near Atrisco Vista and I-40, the release says.
Tuesday night, Amazon spokesperson Lisa Guinn confirmed the project. Guinn says the facility will create around 1,000 new, full-time jobs. Those jobs will pay at least $15 per hour, and include benefits starting on the first day of employment.
