DATA AND AI INFRASTRUCTURE
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is building a data center complex in Madison County, part of a $10 billion investment. The project includes five operational data centers and seven under construction, contributing to local job growth and reshaping the community.
However, concerns about environmental impacts and long-term job sustainability persist, with AWS expected to create around 1,000 permanent jobs. Local leaders recognize potential economic benefits, but community advocates warn of negative effects on disadvantaged neighborhoods.
