Sean McCarthy, director of the state's Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity, added: "This has been a team effort, with DCEO and Intersect Illinois working together to make possible Amazon's continued growth in Illinois. Illinois can offer Amazon exactly what it needs." Team members like Frank Cho recognized early on that Illinois and Amazon could be tremendous partners and that hard work is paying off. Intersect Illinois CEO Jim Schultz said the organization "has worked closely with Amazon for months to grow and maximize Amazon's footprint in Illinois. "In just over two years, Illinois has proven itself to be an ideal location from which Amazon can continue offering customers our vast selection and superfast shipping speeds," said Akash Chauhan, Amazon's v-p of North American operations. The online retailer currently operates fulfillment centers in Edwardsville, Joliet and Romeoville, with another under construction in Monee. Amazon will open two fulfillment centers in Aurora, Ill., including a one-million-square-foot facility for smaller items and a 400,000-square-foot warehouse that will specialize in handling larger items.
