BROWNSVILLE, TX (May 14, 2025) — Amazon today announced plans to expand its operational investments in Texas with a new 62,000-square-foot delivery station in Brownsville, located at 1910 FM 511. Launch plans for the facility are in the very early stages, with construction starting earlier this month.
“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.”
Delivery stations power the last mile of Amazon’s order process and help speed up deliveries. Packages are shipped to a delivery station from neighboring Amazon Fulfillment and Sortation Centers, loaded into delivery vehicles and delivered 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. GBIC’s role in this project reflects our commitment to creating the right conditions for transformative investment. We’re proud to have supported this opportunity, through strategic coordination and long-term planning.”
“Amazon’s decision to expand in Brownsville reinforces what we’ve long known, our City is an economic powerhouse in South Texas,” said John Cowen, Jr., Brownsville City Mayor. “This new delivery station represents more than just jobs and infrastructure. 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.”
Since 2010, Amazon has created more than 86,000 full- and part-time jobs in Texas and invested more than $70 billion across the state, including infrastructure and compensation to our employees. These investments have contributed an additional $81 billion to the Texas economy and have helped create more than 171,000 indirect jobs on top of Amazon’s direct hires—from jobs in construction and logistics to professional services. In addition, more than 39,000 independent sellers—most of which are small and medium sized businesses—in Texas are selling to customers in Amazon’s store, creating thousands of additional jobs across the state.
