SHREVEPORT, La. - It's finally official. Amazon is constructing a multi-million dollar fulfillment center in Shreveport. Gov. John Bel Edwards said Amazon is building a $200 million major robotics fulfilment center, bringing with it 1,000 direct jobs, an estimated 1,118 indirect jobs and about 800 construction jobs. That's almost 3,000 jobs related to the project, which Edwards calls "tremendous." Gov. John Bel Edwards announces Amazon. âThis new Amazon project is a major advancement for the Shreveport-Bossier City metro area and for Louisianaâs economy,â Edwards said. âIn addition to providing strong benefits, Amazon will pay workers double the minimum wage or more in a state-of-the-art technology environment. Only a year ago, we dedicated Hunter Industrial Park as one site in a growing inventory of LED Certified Sites that now numbers 126 statewide. Through partnerships with our elected officials, economic development allies and utility partners, we are proving that great things are possible in Louisiana when we make smart plans for the future.â
