NORTH JACKSON — Area news media are touring Amazon’s delivery center as part of the facility's grand opening.

Packages purchased on Amazon are transported from a fulfillment center to a delivery station before final delivery.

The facility began operation six weeks ago.

So far, the station has created 200 part and full-time associate jobs. Amazon is also hiring Amazon Flex drivers to make deliveries as independent contractors.
