Baton Rouge’s Amazon Fulfillment Center, BTR 1, officially opened its doors where Cortana Mall once stood on Aug. 2, but the facility has been in operation for months.

On this episode of Business Report’s Bottom Line, we take viewers on a tour of Amazon’s newest facility and a full walk-through of the life of a package. Senior Operations Manager Antontella Godoy showed us the steps from the moment a package is ordered to the second it leaves the facility.
