Amazon's Tradepoint Atlantic Fulfillment Center To Yield 2K Jobs

DUNDALK, MD — Amazon celebrated the grand opening of its new fulfillment center in Sparrows Point by hosting local and state officials on Tuesday, March 19. Gov. Larry Hogan and Baltimore County Executive John Olszewski Jr. were among them. Maryland Commerce Secretary Kelly M.

The 850,000-square-foot facility at Tradepoint Atlantic is Amazon's third distribution hub in Maryland; others are in Baltimore City and Cecil County.
