Amazon Canada will be setting up shop with an 855,000 square foot warehouse in Mount Hope a facility the city says marks one of the largest local investments in terms of square footage in Hamilton's history. A 50,000 square foot delivery center is also planned for Stoney Creek, with the two sites bringing more than 1,500 new jobs when they're scheduled to open in 2021, according to officials.
"Today's announcement signals to the world that Hamilton remains the top destination in Ontario to grow, innovate and do business," stated Mayor Fred Eisenberger in a media release. "I am pleased that this significant investment will create 1,500 full-time jobs for the people of Hamilton. This is the beginning of a strong partnership with Amazon Canada and I look forward to our continued collaboration in the future."
