Amazon Web Services data center in St. Joseph County taking shape

ST. JOSEPH COUNTY, Ind. (WNDU) – Construction is continuing on Amazon Web Services’ $11 billion data center complex near New Carlisle, with over half of the planned 32 buildings are either completed or under construction across three sites, according to our reporting partners at the South Bend Tribune.

Seven buildings on the north campus are already online and running artificial intelligence models. More buildings are expected to come online in the next few weeks, according to Amazon Web Services officials.

AWS has hired more than 900 full-time workers so far, most of them Hoosiers.

County leaders said residents should expect another two to three years of construction as the campus is built out.
