A new industrial project is planned for Terrell, Texas, where Amazon is reportedly developing a 933,656-square-foot distribution center, according to the Dallas Business Journal.

The facility is expected to generate jobs for construction professionals in site work, concrete, ironwork, and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) trades.
