WP Amazon Distribution Center

The Borough of Woodland Park held a ribbon cutting at the SNJ1 Amazon Distribution Center on McBride Avenue. After years of serving the Kearfott Guidance and Navigation Corp., the redeveloped site houses about 400 employees as well as a fleet of independent “Flex” drivers who pick up deliveries from the site.

The 205,000-square-foot facility utilizes advanced robotics to provide an efficient operation that can have packages to customers in as few as five hours. The 120 Flex drivers currently working with the site are delivering Same-day to a radius of about 30 miles.

A same-day pick-up hybrid site, the Woodland Park Amazon is the only same-day fulfillment center in the entire network that features an Amazon Hub, an area where customers can come in to pick up packages from lockers as well as make returns.

Amazon will be a great benefit for the local economy and for taxpayers, Mayor Keith Kazmark noted, adding that the property will jump from a $10 million ratable to a $25 million ratable.

“We are exceptionally excited and look forward to a great partnership,” he said.
