Amazon plans to build an 800,000-square-foot fulfillment center in Carteret, where it already operates a warehouse with more than 500 workers. The new facility would employ more than 1,500.
A second new warehouse planned in Florence will be 600,000 square feet and employ more than 500.
The online retail giant already operates three fulfillment centers in the state with more than 5,000 workers. The company has said increasing demand prompted the latest expansion.
