Amazon Proposes $1B Fulfillment Complex in Holbrook
The proposed 4-million-square-foot facility would be Amazon's largest operation on Long Island
Amazon has put forward a proposal to build a roughly $1 billion fulfillment complex in Holbrook that would rank as the company's largest operations facility on Long Island, covering approximately 4 million square feet.
The facility would run around the clock, seven days a week, and would employ at least 1,000 workers, according to the proposal. About 300 tractor-trailers would travel to and from the site each day under the plan.
The project would dwarf Amazon's existing footprint on Long Island, where the company already operates a network of smaller last-mile delivery and distribution centers in communities including Shirley, Bethpage, and the Holbrook area itself. A facility of this scale would represent a major new investment by the e-commerce giant in Suffolk County's industrial corridor.
No approval timeline or specific site address was immediately available from the supplied reporting. Residents and local officials have not yet issued formal public responses, and it was unclear Thursday whether a planning application had been submitted to any municipal board.
