JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. (AP) - Officials say Amazon.com Inc.'s new warehouse and distribution center in southern Indiana has started operations with more than 1,000 workers.
The building with more than 1 million square feet opened up this week in a business park at the former Indiana Army Ammunition Plant in Jeffersonville.
Mayor Mike Moore says the online retailer has between 1,200 and 1,600 employees working two shifts at the center.
The News and Tribune reports turn lanes have been added to nearby roads to handle additional traffic.
Police Chief Chris Grimm says 300 to 500 trucks a day are expected to come and go from the center when it's fully operational.
The Jeffersonville warehouse is Amazon's fifth large facility in Indiana. Those centers are in Indianapolis and the suburban communities of Whitestown and Plainfield.
