The delivery giant picked Kennedy Space Center for its Project Kuiper internet satellite processing facility.
"Amazon is investing $120 million in new construction and high-value equipment for the facility, and creating up to 50 new jobs on the Space Coast," Amazon's statement explained.
Amazon also announced its production facilities in Kirkland, Washington will start producing satellites by the end of the year. The company aims to start providing its services to undisclosed enterprise customers next year. The Kennedy Space Center facility, however, will likely not be operational before early 2025.
