Amazon to invest $15B in Northern Indiana to build new data center campuses

Amazon announced plans to invest an estimated $15B in Northern Indiana to build new data center campuses to support artificial intelligence and cloud computing technologies. This investment is additional to the $11B investment announced last year in St. Joseph County and will expand the company’s infrastructure to new sites across Indiana. This new project will add 2.4 gigawatts of data center capacity in the region. This investment is expected to create more than 1,100 new jobs while supporting thousands of other jobs in the data center supply chain. “Indiana has long been an important partner for Amazon, and today we are proud to reaffirm our commitment to long-term investment and growth, underscoring our dedication to fueling AI innovation while generating meaningful economic impact throughout the state,” said David Zapolsky, Amazon’s chief global affairs and legal officer. “By expanding our advanced cloud infrastructure in Indiana, we are investing in Indiana’s technological future through job creation, skills training initiatives, and community engagement programs. We’re excited to help power the next wave of technological advancement while delivering tangible benefits that will enhance the lives of Indiana residents for years to come.”
