The company has around two dozen facilities around Michigan:

Metro Detroit (over 12)
Lansing

And they're about to build another which will bring around 100 or so jobs. Of those jobs, fewer are full-time. Many are part-time with up to 30 hours per week.

While the 42,500 square-foot building might sound enormous, keep in mind, the company has a property with five floors and over 3.5 million square-feet on the old Michigan State Fairgrounds in Detroit.

Anywhere Amazon builds, it brings jobs and spike to economic activity around that community. Plus, the added benefit of faster delivery.

Take a Creepy Look Inside Detroit's Now Defunct Fisher Body Plant

Once a vibrant part of Detroit's landscape, the now-defunct Fisher Body plant now lies in ruin.

The plant was once capable of producing more than 350,000 car bodies each year and is credited with milestones like producing the first automobile airbag in 1974.

Since its demise in 1984, nearly every ounce of metal has been lifted from the facility for scrap, and what is left is a dirty, dingy haven for graffiti.
