Amazon is building a 248,687-square-foot sorting warehouse in Georgetown, Texas, according to a July 6 filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. The $48 million project is scheduled to break ground Aug. 24 and reach completion by July 2027.
The facility will sit within Amazon's fulfillment network and use robotic systems that bring items to employees for customer orders before packaging and shipment, spokesperson Austin Stowe told sister publication Supply Chain Dive. The site will include multiple storage areas for specialty and cold goods, plus office and support space, per the document.
"Our team is in the early stages of bringing a new operations facility to Georgetown – one that would provide local customers with faster delivery of everyday essentials while creating new jobs in the community," Stowe said in an email.
Robotics and automation have been central to Amazon's push to speed up its fulfillment network. Last year, the company unveiled several robots designed to reduce manual tasks, including "Tipper," which automatically unloads packages from carts brought to conveyor belts. In 2024, Amazon also broke ground on a 3 million-square-foot robotics fulfillment center in North Carolina.
