E-commerce giant Amazon.com is opening a third Chicago-area fulfillment center in Romeoville, Illinois. The company didn’t receive any local or state tax breaks.
Employees at the more than 750,000-square-foot warehouse will pick, pack and ship large items, such as big-screen TVs, sports equipment and kayaks, Amazon said in a news release July 26.
“It’s very exciting for us. To have a large employer of this scale come into your community and bring in hundreds of new jobs almost overnight is always a positive,” Romeoville Mayor John Noak said.
