BELTON, Texas – May 19, 2025 – Amazon has announced plans to expand its investment in Texas by opening a 127,000-square-foot delivery station in Belton, located on Capitol Way, just east of IH-35. Launch plans for the facility are in the very early stages, with construction starting in the coming weeks.
“This delivery station will allow us to provide faster delivery and great service to customers in Belton and the surrounding area,” said Jessica Breaux, senior manager of economic development for Amazon. “We’re grateful for our partnership with the City of Belton and the Belton Economic Development Corporation and look forward to sharing more details about this facility in the future.”
Delivery stations power the last mile of Amazon’s order process. Packages are shipped to a delivery station from neighboring Amazon Fulfillment and Sortation Centers, loaded into delivery vehicles and delivered to customers.
"We’re beyond excited to welcome Amazon to Belton," Mayor David K. Leigh said. "Many of us have welcomed Amazon delivery into our lives, celebrating a Christmas surprise on our doorsteps more than once a year. And now Amazon’s investment brings local jobs, elevates our tax base, and improves delivery for our community. We look forward to a strong partnership with Amazon as they grow their presence here."
“One of the core responsibilities of the Belton Economic Development Corporation is to bring new jobs and industry to Belton,” said Brandon Bozon, president of the BEDC Board of Directors. “We are proud of the collaboration between the City of Belton and our BEDC team in making this project possible. Amazon’s decision to establish operations in Belton is a win for our community, and we look forward to construction beginning soon.”
Since 2010, Amazon has created more than 86,000 full- and part-time jobs in Texas and invested more than $70 billion across the state. These investments have contributed an additional $81 billion to the Texas economy and helped create more than 171,000 indirect jobs on top of Amazon's direct hires—from jobs in construction and logistics to professional services. In addition, more than 39,000 independent sellers—most of which are small and medium-sized businesses—in Texas are selling to customers in Amazon's store, creating thousands of additional jobs across the state.
