Amazon North America operations vice-president Akash Chauhan said: “2017 marks the five-year-anniversary of Amazon beginning to operate fulfillment centres in California.

“Within that time span, we’ve launched Career Choice, a program hundreds of Amazonian Californians have participated in to go back to school; we’ve supported the growth of hundreds of thousands of California businesses, authors, and developers that reach customers through Amazon.com, and we’ve continued to increase speed of delivery to customers throughout the state.”

"We are committed to long-term prosperity both for our city and for everyone, and Amazon will be a fantastic partner in that mission.”

To be spread across one-million square feet, the Eastvale facility is currently being developed by Goodman Group.
