According to NorthJersey.com, the company signed a 10-year lease for a 617,000 square-foot warehouse at 698 Route 46 West. In 2015, Amazon leased a 75,000 square-foot warehouse on Empire Boulevard in Moonachie.

Amazon in the past couple of years has opened two warehouses, also called fulfillment centers, in Middlesex County near the N.J. Turnpike and one in Robbinsville, near Trenton.

In April, the company announced on its website plans to open a third warehouse in Middlesex and another in Burlington County, according to the report.

This new fulfillment center, planned for Carteret in Middlesex, will be more than 800,000 square-feet and employ more than 1,500 full-time associates, the company stated.

In Florence, which is in Burlington County, the warehouse will be more than 600,000 square-feet and is expected to employ more than 500 full-time associates, the company said in its April statement.

Amazon expects to increase its New Jersey workforce from 5,500 to 7,500.

"We place our fulfillment centers close to customers to provide the fastest possible delivery times, and this expansion in New Jersey is directly tied to our increasing customer demand," Akash Chauhan, Amazon's vice president of North America fulfillment operations, stated in an April 27 news release.

The company has said that full-time employees receive competitive hourly wages and a benefits package that includes healthcare, 401(k) and company stock awards starting on day one.
