Amazon Raises Louisiana Data Center Plan to $18 Billion

- The new campus is at Resilient Technology Park in west Shreveport and brings an additional $6 billion of investment, 210 direct new jobs and, by Louisiana Economic Development's estimate, 499 indirect jobs.[2][3][4]
- Across all three campuses Amazon expects up to 750 full-time data center jobs and 2,500 additional positions in the community; LED estimates 1,784 indirect jobs for the full project.[1][2]
- STACK Infrastructure, developer and owner of all three campuses, expects up to 2,250 construction jobs and says construction on the new campus is set to finish in mid-2028.[1][3]
- Amazon says it pays 100% of the new energy infrastructure and grid upgrades with Southwestern Electric Power Company (SWEPCO) and will invest up to $400 million in public water infrastructure for the campuses, at no cost to ratepayers.[1][3]
