Amazon opened a new fulfillment center in Baltimore County’s Sparrows Point this week.

This is the ecommerce company’s second facility in the development at the former site of the Sparrows Point steel mill, now known as Tradepoint Atlantic. It follows an initial 855,000-square-foot distribution hub that opened in 2018. This new spot will employ over 500 full-time associates that work alongside technology to pick, pack and ship larger items to customers, according to a press release. Openings are still left to be filled, per the company.
