AURORA, Ill. — Online retailer Amazon.com plans to open new fulfillment centers in Illinois and Michigan.
The announcements came Tuesday about the Seattle-based online retailer’s plans. The company and Illinois officials said in a statement Amazon plans to open two fulfillment centers in Aurora, Ill., and the project is expected to add more than 1,000 full-time jobs.
In Michigan, the company plans to hire at least 1,000 new employees to staff a center in Livonia. That project is expected to cost about $90 million. The update came as the Michigan Strategic Fund approved a $7.5 million grant for Amazon.
During the past two years, Amazon has announced eight fulfillment centers in Illinois.
