OKLAHOMA CITY — We told you recently about Amazon possibly receiving incentives for coming to our state.

Now comes word, the company will be opening up its first fulfillment center in Oklahoma City by the end of 2019. KRMG has learned the 600,000-square-foot facility will create more than 1,500 full-time jobs.

Statement from Amazon:

“We’re excited to open our first fulfillment center in Oklahoma and in a city with an outstanding workforce and a commitment to providing great opportunities for employment,” said Mark Stewart, Amazon’s Vice President of North America Customer Fulfillment. “Amazon is committed to creating a positive economic impact in Oklahoma City and enhancing the customer experience throughout the region.”

No word on if Tulsa still has a shot at getting a facility as well.
