Windsor's Amazon delivery station to open by end of October starting with about 70 employees

Amazon Canada says its Windsor delivery station will open its doors by the end of October.

Spokesperson Ryma Boussoufa refers to the 125,000 square foot facility as a DCL8 hub the company's "last mile of customer fulfilment" for across the Windsor-Essex region.

She says it will open with more than 70 employees and that they're currently in the process of filling those jobs.

A specific opening date was not included in a Friday statement by the company.

The warehouse and processing facility is where the old Chrysler Pillette Road assembly plant used to be.

Amazon says jobs will start at $22.60per hour.
