Maryville Amazon facility open for business

Maryville, Mo. (KQTV) -- Amazon announced its new Maryville facility is open for business just in time for Christmas.

The site will be a new 11,800-square-foot last-mile facility, enhancing delivery speeds for customers throughout Nodaway County and the surrounding area.

The site opened with approximately 20 employees and is still hiring for roles starting at $19 per hour, as the facility plans to ramp up operations during the next several months.

Interested members can visit amazon.com/jobs and also flex.amazon.com to view opportunities, which are updated weekly.

The first delivery for the Maryville facility was a Genuine OEM Sunroof motor assembly for Honda Civic and CRV.

The Maryville leadership team also began its support of the local community by volunteering at Lettuce Dream, which creates training and career opportunities for individuals with disabilities.

The team was able to help with the hydroponic growing of produce, which is done year-round to provide training and sustain the organization.
