The former Kmart on Wilson Road is slated to become an Amazon distribution hub and the e-commerce giant's second warehouse development in Kern County. City records show a 123,000-square-foot warehouse proposed at the site would receive and sort six truckloads of consumer goods per day. Products would then be loaded onto 20 delivery vans and shipped out in staggered departure times to avoid causing congestion. Amazon has been identified as the operator, according to a representative of one of the small businesses ordered by the property's owner to vacate the site to make room for the new project. An Amazon spokeswoman would not confirm or deny the project. She said by email the company is "constantly exploring new locations and weighing a variety of factors when deciding where to develop sites to best serve customers."
