A fulfillment center reported to be planned by Amazon will not be coming to the Westphalia Towne Center in Prince George’s County, according to county officials.

In July, multiple sources told FOX 5’s Evan Lambert that Amazon was the company looking to bring the facility to Prince George’s County.

Alsobrooks says officials are still hoping the company will install a facility in Prince George’s County, but at a different location.

"It is our intention to work with the company to identify more suitable locations in the county where they may be able to bring their products,” she said in the statement.

In July, officials said they anticipated that construction on the site would begin in the fall.
