Amazon will be opening a new robotics fulfillment center in Wilmington.

The company will be hosting a ceremonial groundbreaking event on Wednesday, March 12. News of the new facility was first reported by WECT in Wilmington.

Amazon says this center will bring faster deliveries and more jobs to the area.

The fulfillment center will be in the same area as the Amazon delivery station announced in 2022.

According to a previous news release, Amazon packages are shipped to a delivery station from neighboring Amazon fulfillment and sorting centers before being loaded into vehicles to be delivered to customers.

This event is not open to the public. It is for media and invited guests only.
