Amazon's getting serious about its delivery ambitions with a $1.4 billion hub
Amazon's delivery has a home: Kentucky.
The tech giant will build a $1.39 billion hub for delivery service Amazon Prime Air at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport in Hebron, Kentucky. The Cincinnati Business Courier reported the news on Tuesday and Amazon confirmed it with a press release shortly after.
The 900-acre project will serve as Amazon's primary air cargo hub and as the home to its fleet of Prime Air cargo planes. Amazon leased 40 dedicated cargo planes last year, and 16 of them are in service today.
“As we considered places for the long-term home for our air hub operations, Hebron quickly rose to the top of the list with a large, skilled workforce, centralized location with great connectivity to our nearby fulfillment locations, and an excellent quality of living for employees. We feel strongly that with these qualities as a place to do business, our investments will support Amazon and customers well into the future,” Amazon Senior Vice President of Worldwide Operations Dave Clark said in a statement.
Amazon won $40 million in state tax incentives for the project, the Business Courier reported. The airport will also invest $5 million in infrastructure improvements as part of of Amazon's commitment to the region.
Amazon Prime Air promises to deliver packages to customers in 30 minutes or less.
"They would like to get a shovel in the ground as soon as possible," CVG CEO Candance McGraw told the Business Courier of Amazon's Prime Air project.
