Amazon plans to build warehouse distribution center in Hayden

By

Town Manager Mathew Mendisco confirmed Tuesday that Hayden is in communication with Amazon regarding plans to build a new 40,000-square-foot warehouse and distribution “micro-center” near the Yampa Valley Regional Airport.

“I got their permission to acknowledge that we’ve been in communication with them, and that Amazon is working through the appropriate development process to identify how to best deliver for customers in Northwest Colorado,” Mendisco said Tuesday afternoon. “This is (Amazon) identifying that they had some gaps in the Northwest Region.”

Mendisco said the Hayden location will allow the company to improve service to areas including Craig to the west, Baggs and southwest Wyoming to the north, as well as the Steamboat Springs area just a few miles to the east.
