Online retailer Amazon has confirmed plans to open two new fulfillment centers in Obetz and Etna. They will be the company's first fulfillment centers in the state. Amazon has not said when the facilities will open. The firm is getting state tax breaks to build the facilities and create an estimated 2 thousand jobs. In October, the company reported a quarterly profit of over 400 million dollars.
