Amazon is coming to Maryville.

Nodaway County Economic Development has announced Amazon will open a new, 11-Thousand, 800-square-foot last-mile sorting and delivery facility in Maryville.

Both Nodaway County Economic Development and the City of Maryville acknowledge early this year a new facility was going up, but neither released details.

“The City of Maryville is excited to welcome Amazon to our community,” Maryville Interim City Manager, Ryan Heiland, said in a written statement released by the city. “This investment brings not only new jobs but also strengthens our local infrastructure and reinforces Maryville’s position as a growing hub for business and innovation in northwest Missouri. We look forward to a long and successful partnership.”

The new facility will receive packages, load them onto vehicles, and then deliver them directly to customers.

The Amazon facility in Maryville is expected to employ 30 workers. It will be located at site covering a little more than seven acres at 701 Wilson Industrial Road.
