We are donating $2.5 million to support the immediate needs of thousands of students from underserved communities within the Puget Sound region. As part of its Right Now Needs response effort, Amazon donated thousands of much-needed items, including hygiene and cleaning products, shelf-stable food, school supplies and activities, and more to nonprofits across the Washington, D.C. We are supporting local businesses, schools, and organizations in Arlington, Virginia, and the Puget Sound region during the COVID-19 pandemic. The construction of our new Center of Excellence, and the ongoing operation of it, will create thousands more jobs in building services, hospitality, and retail, and generate hundreds of millions of dollars in investment in the surrounding communities on top of Amazon’s $230 million direct investment. The Center will be located downtown at the future site of Nashville Yards. The new Operations Center of Excellence will serve as the Southeastern U.S. This is the single largest jobs commitment made by a company in Tennessee’s history, and we look forward to working with the community. These new jobs will include a mix of technical and non-technical roles for candidates at all skill and education levels. We’re excited to work with Middle Tennesseans to bring our new Operations Center of Excellence to downtown Nashville and create 5,000 jobs in the city.

Over the next decade, Tennessee, Davidson County, and the city of Nashville will benefit from $1 billion in new tax revenue as a result of Amazon’s investment and job creation. In 2017, we opened our first office in Bellevue and we plan to continue to grow in this city to diversify our presence and positive impact in the region-creating over 15,000 new jobs in the next few years. Since then, we have created more than 50,000 direct jobs and invested over $4.5 billion in Seattle alone-and we estimate that these investments have contributed to the creation of an additional 244,000 jobs on top of our direct hires. In 2010, we moved to our first building in Seattle’s South Lake Union, making the conscious decision to build an urban campus in the city’s downtown and helping to transform an entire neighborhood. We currently employ more than 75,000 people across our facilities in the area-including our corporate offices in Seattle and Bellevue, fulfillment centers in Kent, Sumner, and Dupont, our air hub at SeaTac airport, Project Kuiper’s R&D facility in Redmond, and more than 15 Amazon and Whole Foods physical stores. Amazon is proud to be a significant investor and job creator for people of all backgrounds and skill levels in the Puget Sound region.
