Amazon to Close Florida Facility, Impacting Nearly 500 Workers · ~500 roles

Amazon will temporarily close its Port St. Lucie, Florida distribution facility for renovations to convert it into a sortable fulfillment center. The company filed a WARN notice stating operations will cease on Sept. 17, 2026, and that 494 employees will be laid off, with separations effective either Sept. 17 or Dec. 17; terminations are permanent unless employees accept internal transfer opportunities beforehand. The closure is part of Amazon's broader adjustments to its U.S. warehouse network, which includes converting, closing, and building other sites and investing in automation and robotics-equipped sorting and fulfillment centers. The move affects warehouse staff who pick, pack and ship customer orders and follows other recent temporary closures and shutdowns in Amazon's logistics footprint.

Amazon to lay off 1,110 workers in Florida as two fulfillment centers close for multi-year renovations · ~1,110 roles

Amazon is temporarily shutting down two Florida warehouses — the TMB8 Homestead facility and the PBI3 Port St. Lucie facility — and plans to lay off more than 1,100 workers as it spends $400 million to retrofit both sites. The Homestead closure will result in 616 workers being laid off in two phases (first round already occurred July 2; second set begins Sept. 30), while the Port St. Lucie closure is expected to cut 494 jobs with reductions starting Sept. 17 and again on Dec. 17. WARN notices filed in April and July indicate the separations are expected to be permanent despite tentative reopenings in 2028; employees accepting internal transfers prior to separation dates will not be laid off, and about 300 Homestead staff have already transferred. The affected roles are primarily fulfillment center associates; upon completion of renovations the sites are projected to each employ roughly 1,000 people. Amazon is also expanding other Florida and Texas warehouse projects as part of broader network adjustments.

An employee told Action News that a majority of the staff at the Madera site may be laid off, though the company said its Visalia location will remain open. No specific number or timeline for layoffs was provided in the report, and the company characterized the move as part of a merger-related consolidation.
