Southeastern Ontario is getting a new Amazon distribution centre.
Belleville Mayor Neil Ellis tells myFM it’s a huge project that will benefit the entire region.
Ellis says the addition of the site and the increased traffic it creates will see infrastructure improvements in the area.
The one million square-foot Amazon distribution centre will be located in Belleville’s east industrial park, near the old Sears warehouse.
As far as direct job creation goes – numbers haven’t been confirmed but there’s speculation the payroll will be several hundred strong.
