Amazon has established a new Same-Day Delivery center in Findlay Township, marking the first such facility in Western Pennsylvania. This development is expected to generate more than 100 employment opportunities for local residents.
Facility Details and Regional Impact
The 191,000-square-foot fulfillment center, situated at 270 Solar Dr., will serve customers across a broad geographic area, including portions of West Virginia and Ohio. Since 2010, Amazon's investments in Pennsylvania have surpassed $33.7 billion, reinforcing its dedication to the state's economic growth.
Designed for operational efficiency, this facility consolidates sorting and delivery processes at a single location. It will provide service to the Greater Pittsburgh region, covering Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, Washington, and Westmoreland counties, with a reach extending from Wheeling, West Virginia, to New Castle and from East Liverpool to Greensburg.
Official Statements
Maura Kennedy, Amazon’s head of economic development in Pennsylvania, emphasized the significance of the new facility: “This new facility in Imperial represents a significant investment in Western Pennsylvania’s economic future, creating more than 100 quality jobs for local residents while leveraging our advanced robotics technology to deliver packages to customers’ doorsteps faster than ever before.”
Allegheny County Executive Sara Innamorato also highlighted the facility’s importance, stating, “The opening of this new facility in Imperial is an asset for Allegheny County and the broader tri-state region. Our county continues to see investment in state-of-the-art logistics and operations facilities and this newest addition only further positions us as a strategically located hub of innovation.”
According to Rep. Valerie Gaydos of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, the new facility represents the type of economic development desired in the region: “Amazon’s new Same-Day Delivery facility represents exactly the kind of economic development we want to see in Western Pennsylvania—family-sustaining careers, cutting-edge robotics technology and long-term commitment to our communities.”
Employment and Benefits
Amazon currently provides over 31,000 direct jobs in Pennsylvania, with the new center anticipated to add to this figure. Full-time employees in the region earn an average of $23 per hour, along with comprehensive benefits such as health insurance, paid parental leave, and access to the Career Choice program, which supports tuition for education in high-demand fields.
Amazon's Same-Day Delivery service is now accessible for millions of products across more than 9,000 cities and towns throughout the United States.
