More than 1,000 Amazon jobs are expected to be delivered to west Georgia residents in two years.

On Monday, the technology company announced its plans to construct a new sortation center in Hogansville, a Troup County city roughly 14 miles outside of LaGrange.

The company anticipates that the site, scheduled to open in 2027, will create more than 1,000 full-time and part-time jobs.
