Amazon delivery station coming to Brownsville

BROWNSVILLE, Texas (ValleyCentral) — An Amazon delivery station is coming to Brownsville.

The multinational technology company announced Wednesday that it plans to expand its operational investments with a new 62,00 square foot delivery station in Brownsville along FM 511.

According to the Greater Brownsville Incentives Corporation, launch plans are still in the early stages, and construction on the facility is set to begin this month. The facility will be located at 1910 FM 511.

“This delivery station will allow us to better serve customers in Brownsville and the surrounding area,” said Jessica Breaux, senior manager of economic development for Amazon. “We’re grateful for our partnership with the City of Brownsville and the Greater Brownsville Incentives Corporation and look forward to sharing more details about this facility in the future.”

According to Amazon, the delivery station will power the last mile of Amazon's order process and help speed up deliveries. Essentially, your packages will be shipped to the delivery station from neighboring Amazon Fulfillment and Sortation Centers and then loaded into delivery trucks to be distributed to customers.

“This is not just good news—it’s a clear signal of where we’re headed,” said Gilberto Salinas, Chief Executive Officer of GBIC. “Brownsville is emerging as a destination of choice for global companies seeking access, infrastructure, and a workforce ready to grow with them."

Brownsville Mayor John Cowen Jr. said the announcement reinforces the idea that Brownsville is an economic powerhouse in South Texas.

"This new delivery station represents more than just jobs and infrastructure," Cowen said. "It’s about opportunity, access, and momentum. We’re proud to welcome Amazon and look forward to the positive impact this investment will bring to Brownsville and the surrounding communities.”

In Texas, Amazon has created more than 86,000 full- and part-time jobs since 2010.
