Fayetteville Cumberland County Economic Development Corporation (FCEDC) made the announcement official in a release Wednesday, saying that Amazon will build a 1.3 million-square-foot fulfillment facility in the Military Business Park. The business park is located near Bragg Blvd. and Santa Fe Dr. in north Fayetteville.
"Amazon is excited to expand operations in Cumberland County, North Carolina, investing in a new fulfilment center in Fayetteville," said Nikki Forman, Amazon Spokesperson. "We are committed to providing efficient delivery for customers and creating hundreds of jobs for the talented workforce in the area."
The Amazon facility is on 94 acres of land in the Military Business Park in Fayetteville and is expected to open in 2023. It becomes the second new Amazon facility to come to Cumberland County, joining the new "last-mile" facility being built on Dunn Road. That Amazon delivery facility is bringing several hundred more jobs to Fayetteville.
"I welcome the significant positive impact that Amazon will make here," Fayetteville Mayor Mitch Colvin said. "The fact that Amazon has twice selected to invest in our area sends a strong signal to other potential employers about the many wonderful benefits this region has to offer, from our central location to the thriving workforce, and excellent business climate."
FCEDC said the City of Fayetteville and Cumberland County have both approved up to $1.25 million in incentives to help with certain infrastructure improves on the site. Amazon must meet specific jobs and investment goals to receive those incentives in Fayetteville.
"This Amazon facility in the Military Business Park means hundreds of new jobs for our County, as well as economic growth and advancement. This transformative investment is a major win for our community," said County Commission Chairman Glenn Adams. "A sincere thanks goes out to Amazon’s representatives as well as Cloteen Jasmin, Senior Vice President of Development at Ryan Companies, who have been collaborating with FCEDC on the project since April. This project has an incredibly aggressive timeline, and we cannot wait to celebrate its opening in 2023. Thanks to all those who collaborated to make this a success."
Dreaming about living in the most expensive Fayetteville homes is always so much fun... even if they might be out of most of our price ranges.
Realtor.com currently has 10 homes listed above $800,000 in only Fayetteville zip codes as of January 25, 2022. One of those includes nearly 70 acres of land, so we're not including that one in our rankings below, but you can check it out here.
So what do the most expensive Fayetteville homes currently on the market have in common? For starters, most of them are pretty centrally located in the areas generally around Terry Sanford High School (in Haymount, off Morganton Rd., etc.).
They also all have mostly four or more bedrooms, 3.5 or more bathrooms, and range from 3,750 to 8,500 square feet. You're generally looking at gated communities, massive yards, high-end fixtures, and all the pretty countertops you can stand.
Houses at this price range don't tend to sell all that quickly in this area. Only three homes have sold for over $800,000 in the last three months in Cumberland County. And that's with a really hot market. We'll list those three at the end of the article, after the ones currently for sale.
According to Realtor.com, the average price of homes currently on the market in Fayetteville is $179,900, and the median sold home price recently is $155,000 - substantially cheaper than the most expensive homes in Fayetteville.
