Amazon recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its new 2.8-million square-foot, $300 million robotics fulfillment center in Charlton, Mass. The facility has about 1,000 full-time employees and can store up to 32 million items. The facility also uses robotic drive units capable of lifting 1,500 pounds.  

Amazon has committed to a $10.2 million community partnership with Charlton to support transportation infrastructure upgrades, STEM education initiatives, and provide more resources for public-safety equipment and recreational facilities.
