DELTONA, Fla. (AP) — Amazon is opening its fifth fulfillment center in Florida.
The company announced Thursday it was opening a distribution hub in Deltona, Florida. Deltona is located between Orlando and Daytona Beach along Interstate 4.
The center will need 500 workers, who will earn $15 an hour or more, Amazon said in a statement.
