A major Amazon warehouse has started operations in the Sonoran capital Hermosillo.
The massive, 500,000-square-foot facility is the first of its kind in this part of Mexico. And as of last week it’s up and running, according to a tweet from incoming Sonoran Gov. Alfonso Durazo. He praised the facility for bringing “hundreds” of jobs to the city and a significant economic impact to the state.
