CEP Welcomes Amazon Facility to the Ocala Metro

The Ocala/Marion County Chamber & Economic Partnership joined the Ocala City Council and Marion County Board of County Commissioners in welcoming Amazon’s announcement that they will establish a distribution facility in the Ocala Metro.

The company has leased the 617,000 sq. ft. spec building being constructed by Red Rock Developments.  This new facility will initially create 120 jobs, all making at least $15.00 per hour from day one.

“The CEP is pleased to welcome Amazon to our community,” said Angie Lewis, CEP Board Chair.  “What an incredible addition to the Ocala Metro! We look forward to seeing their brand welcoming residents to the area.”

The new Amazon facility is located in the Ocala/Marion County Commerce Park along I-75. The company joins existing park tenants Chewy.com, AutoZone, and FedEx Ground which all operate logistic facilities in the park.

According to Lewis, “a project likes this involves many partners and we would like to express our great appreciation to Red Rock Developments for investing in Ocala and the team at Colliers International in Orlando led by Deborah Mickler, SIOR, for their incredible work.”
