Employees at the more than 900,000² fulfillment centre in Cranbury Township and the one-million square feet fulfillment centre in Logan Township will pick, pack and ship larger customer items such as music equipment, sports gear, and patio furniture.

The 900,000ft² fulfillment centre in Edison will handle smaller customer items such as books, toys and kitchenware.

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said: “We applaud Amazon for investing in several expansions throughout New Jersey and for creating greater opportunities for our high-quality workforce.

“Today’s great news is no accident or coincidence. Over the last seven-plus years, my administration has lowered a variety of taxes, improved New Jersey’s business climate, increased the number of well-paying jobs and grown the overall economy. Amazon’s action should encourage even more employers to benefit from all New Jersey has to offer.”
