Elevate Statement Regarding Amazon Groundbreaking:

“We are excited to welcome Amazon to the region! More than two years ago, we had started conversations about what makes the Black Hills region a great place to do business, confident they would one day expand their services here. This delivery station is part of Amazon’s “last mile” network, providing the last point for packages in the logistics process before a driver drops it off at the consumer’s doorstep.

Our goal is to establish Rapid City as a regional hub for supply chain support and distributing goods.

The Black Hills region is full of local manufacturers creating top-of-the-line products. Improving opportunities to export those goods will have a positive long-term impact on our local economy. We also know that the expansion of distribution for our region will also aid in our desire to bring more in-demand services, like grocery stores, to the area.”
