The newly opened Amazon facility in Desert Hot Springs marks a significant addition to the city’s growing industrial landscape. Spanning roughly 635,000 square feet, the site functions as a key “middle-mile” logistics hub, where goods are received, sorted, and redistributed to fulfillment centers across the region.

City officials view the project as a major step toward local economic growth, with the potential to bring over 1,500 to 2,000 jobs and reduce the need for residents to commute the area for work.
