Amazon Facility in Romeoville Will Create ‘Hundreds' of Jobs

E-commerce an important element to village's growth, mayor says

An Amazon packing and shipping facility is in the planning stages and will be located in Romeoville and will employ more than 600 people, the village announced in a press release Wednesday.

"We are excited to add this new fulfillment center in Romeoville," Akash Chauhan, vice president of Amazon's North America operations said in the release. "Expanding our footprint in Illinois brings hundreds and hundreds of full-time jobs with competitive pay and great benefits starting on day one to the state."

The building where the facility will be located is currently being modernized and officials said it should be operational by Oct. 1.

Amazon is currently hiring for "associate roles" at the Romeoville facility, officials said.

"We are pleased to welcome Amazon to Romeoville. We have very few vacancies, so we were fortunate that they found an existing building that met their needs," said Mayor John Noak in the press release. "Amazon continues to have a major impact on our regional economy. We look forward to this partnership, as e-commerce is an important sector in our future growth."
