The long-awaited Amazon distribution center on Sarno Road in Melbourne, which has remained unused since its completion in 2022, is now scheduled to open later this year. The 141,360 square-foot facility features a cutting-edge electric vehicle charging yard with the capacity to charge up to 737 vans simultaneously. Additionally, the center includes signalized entrances and exits to Eau Gallie Boulevard and two covered bus stops for better accessibility. This development is part of Amazon’s broader expansion plans in Florida, aiming to boost local employment and economic growth.
