Amazon to invest $3 billion to build data center in Mississippi

Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves said Thursday, Nov. 20 that Amazon will invest $3 billion to build a new data center campus in the Vicksburg area of Warren County.
Industry and state officials argue that multiple data-center announcements along Interstate 20, including Amazon's Warren County project, help form a regional 'Data Center Corridor' in Mississippi.
AWS is narrowing site options by evaluating two candidate sites within Warren County while Entergy Mississippi’s power commitments and strong local partnerships influenced the choice, Amazon Web Services Economic Development Director Roger Wehner said.
The project ranks among Mississippi's largest developments and officials say the Warren County data center project will use Mississippi Major Economic Impact Authority legislation, generating ripple effects for regional supply-chain and tech-sector firms.
Amazon plans community and workforce commitments including training over 6,500 Mississippians and launching the Amazon Warren County Community Fund , Wehner said.
