In 2020, Miami-Dade County conveyed public land at 27505 SW 132nd Avenue to Amazon for $22 million, based on its appraised value, under a deal that required Amazon to create and maintain at least 325 full-time jobs paying an average of $32,000 per year, according to the official Miami-Dade County press release on the enforcement action. The next-generation design, first deployed at Amazon's Shreveport, Louisiana facility in late 2024, is architecturally different in ways that cannot be retrofitted around live operations. The plan calls for replicating the Shreveport robotics design across approximately 40 facilities by the end of 2027.
