Reports: Amazon Planning Third Distribution Center In Metro Detroit

SHELBY TOWNSHIP (WWJ) - A third Amazon distribution center may be coming to metro Detroit, this time in northern Macomb County.

According to Crain's Detroit Business, the online retail giant is looking at the site of the old Visteon Plant at 23 Mile and Mound roads in Shelby Township.

Plans call for the construction of a 1 million-square-foot facility that would create roughly 1,000 jobs.

No confirmation from Amazon or local officials who need to sign off on property redevelopment plans for the proposed million-square-foot facility.

Two other Amazon centers are currently under construction in Michigan. A center in Livonia is set to open later this fall, while the one in Romulus will be opening next year.
