5 ways Amazon is investing in Texas

Strengthening rural Texas communities

From major cities to small towns and rural communities, Amazon's investments are reaching every corner of Texas. Since 2010, Amazon has invested more than $450 billion in over 1,000 small towns and rural areas across the U.S.-a reflection of our long-standing commitment to spreading economic opportunity to communities of all sizes. Recent research shows that investments in our delivery network have already led to $500 million in economic growth in small towns and rural communities, driving GDP growth in counties where we've opened a delivery station.

Since 2021, Amazon has opened 15 delivery stations outside of major metropolitan areas in Texas, including Abilene, Lubbock, Tyler, and Wichita Falls. Each new facility creates an average of 170 jobs at the delivery stations themselves, plus many more through driving opportunities via the Delivery Service Partner and Amazon Flex programs. They also help customers in small towns get products they want and need even faster, at the same great low cost.
