The Weatherford Industrial Trust, in partnership with the City of Weatherford, Okla., announced the sale of 10.72 acres in the Weatherford Industrial Trust North Park to Amazon for the development of a new 30,000-square-foot last-mile delivery station.
The project is expected to bring approximately 100 new jobs to Weatherford and generate a significant economic impact for the community through new employment opportunities, local spending, and long-term investment.
“We are thrilled to welcome Amazon to Weatherford and to our Weatherford Industrial North Park for industrial development,” said Yolanda Creswell, Economic Development Director. “This project represents exactly the kind of high-quality investment we envisioned for this park. It will create jobs for our residents, expand our tax base, and reinforce Weatherford’s position as a business-friendly community.”
This transaction marks the first sale within the Weatherford Industrial Trust North Park, setting a strong precedent for future growth and development in the area.
“Having Amazon as the first company to invest in North Park is a major milestone for our community,” said Creswell. “It sends a clear message to other companies that Weatherford is ready to support new and expanding businesses with the infrastructure, workforce, and collaborative spirit they need to succeed.”
This new facility will drive the final stage of Amazon’s fulfillment process, helping ensure fast, everyday delivery to customers’ doorsteps. Starting at fulfillment and sortation centers, packages will be processed and prepared for last-mile delivery, improving delivery times for customers throughout the region and bringing even faster delivery to more rural communities. Construction is expected to begin early in 2026.
The City of Weatherford and the Weatherford Industrial Trust worked closely together to bring this project to fruition, underscoring their shared commitment to economic development and to making Weatherford a destination for business investment.
Amazon's presence in Oklahoma has generated substantial economic benefits through multiple channels, investing over $7.2 billion in the state since 2010 in infrastructure and employee compensation and contributing $6.8 billion to Oklahoma's GDP. The company has created 7,500 full- and part-time direct jobs in fulfillment, delivery, and related roles, while supporting an additional 7,000 indirect jobs in industries such as construction, logistics, and professional services through suppliers and partners.
Beyond employment and infrastructure, Amazon has committed to utility-scale renewable energy projects, including solar farms and wind farms that generate local economic activity while supporting clean energy goals. The company's platform has also empowered thousands of Oklahoma-based independent sellers who have sold over 9 million items and average $140,000 in annual sales.
The City of Weatherford is a growing community committed to supporting residents, businesses, and visitors through strategic investment, strong public services, and a pro-growth economic development approach. Weatherford prides itself on offering a high quality of life, a skilled workforce, and a welcoming environment for companies of all sizes.
