Amazon is opening another massive warehouse in metro Atlanta that will create 500 new jobs.

The e-commerce giant said Saturday that the 1-million-square-foot facility will be built at the Cubes of Bridgeport site in Newnan.

The facility’s employees will pack and ship customer orders for Amazon, the world’s largest retailer.

Gov. Brian Kemp said Amazon’s announcement was a testament to Georgia’s “logistics infrastructure, top-ranked workforce and nationally recognized business climate.”

Officials did not say when they expect the construction to be complete.
