The Site Selectors Guild identified re-shoring and nearshoring, regionalization and last-mile delivery management as supply chain trends to watch in 2021.

SAN MARCOS, Texas – Amazon plans to open a new delivery station in San Marcos later this year that will create hundreds of jobs with a $15 per hour starting wage, company officials said.
According to a news release, the one-million-square-foot facility powers the last mile of Amazon’s order fulfillment process.

The San Marcos facility at 1346 Fortuna Road will be one of Amazon’s delivery stations for larger items, like TVs and couches.
