Amazon Distribution Center

Scope of Work

Amazon’s expansion into Gorham is part of their $4 billion Rural Delivery Initiative. This nationwide program, launched in 2024–2025, aims to triple Amazon’s rural footprint to provide faster, more reliable service to less densely populated areas. Called "Project Gideon", Amazon has proposed a 30-foot-tall, 146,280-SF, 1-story building with parking for 903 vehicles on a 93-acre site within the Gorham Industrial Park. Amazon signed a purchase and sale agreement in August 2025 to purchase the parcel from the town. The planning board has approved the proposal. The project still needs State & U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permits to move forward, and residents are circulating a petition to stop it.
