Amazon Macon (Project Unicorn)

Overview

Amazon.com chose Plateau to partner with on several very complex, fast track requirements in the Southeast region of the United States.

Project Description / Details

Fulfillment center in Macon, creating more than 500 full-time jobs, Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal announced.

The Macon facility, to be located on Sardis Church and Skipper roads just off Interstate 75, will be 1 million square feet and represents a $70 million investment. Amazon will lease the site from the Macon-Bibb County Industrial Authority.

While 500 jobs were officially announced, plans for the Amazon facility indicated that 1,000 workers could be employed during peak season. Employees in Macon will pick, pack and ship large-sized items for customers, such as furniture, sporting equipment and gardening tools.

It’s taken only about seven months for crews to erect the massive structure, and soon the keys will be turned over to the giant online retailer.
