Amazon will invest $12 billion to build data center campuses in Caddo and Bossier parishes, Louisiana, marking its first facilities in the state. The project will create 540 direct jobs and an estimated 1,700 indirect jobs.

Construction is set to begin shortly, with interconnected campuses designed to support cloud computing and AI operations. Amazon is partnering with STACK Infrastructure, which will oversee construction and provide up to 1,500 jobs during the build phase.

The investment will also enhance local energy infrastructure, with Amazon covering all related costs. Louisiana's competitive incentives, including workforce development programs, support the project's execution.
