WEST FARGO (KFGO) – As construction continues on the massive $100-million Amazon Fulfillment Center in north Fargo, another part of the Amazon network is setting up in West Fargo. It’s an Amazon hub, referred to as a Last Mile Delivery Station.
Packages arrive at such stations from fulfillment centers and are loaded onto vehicles for speedy deliveries to area customers. West Fargo Mayor Bernie Dardis says it’s a great addition to the fast-growing city, as Amazon is offering more than 100 jobs.
Dardis said the city did some research after the first rumblings circulated that Amazon was planning a distribution center in Fargo and it was soon after when that announcement was made in October that West Fargo was notified the city was under consideration for the hub. He said it was “a kept very quiet type thing.”
The leased building is more than 63,000 square feet and located at 700 Main Avenue East.
A recent report indicated Amazon is now operating more than 250 Last Mile Delivery Stations throughout its system.
