Louisiana Central attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Amazon’s newly opened Last Mile Facility in Boyce, alongside other regional and state leaders, on Thursday, Jan. 30. This invitation-only event included a tour of the facility led by Jessica Breaux, Senior Manager of Economic Development for Amazon, and Site Manager Jose Flores who provided insight into its operations. 

The 65,000-square-foot facility will fulfill a crucial role in Amazon’s last-mile delivery network, ensuring packages are received, sorted, and dispatched efficiently. The facility has resulted in approximately 200 jobs, offering entry-level positions starting at $18.40 per hour. These roles include package handling, dispatch operations, and delivery services.

Amazon representatives emphasized strong collaboration with local officials that helped complete the project in under a year. The facility is expected to support peak holiday demand and will continue to drive economic growth by expanding workforce opportunities.

Louisiana Central and regional leaders commend Amazon’s investment in Boyce, recognizing the facility’s role in boosting economic development and enhancing delivery operations in Louisiana.
