Amazon declared Thursday it will invest $25 billion across Mississippi for data center operations. The company stated that two years ago, it began construction on its first data center campus in Madison County—the largest capital investment in Mississippi’s history at that time—followed by a planned $3 billion investment in Warren County.
“Today, we’re proud to share that our total statewide planned investment has reached $25 billion, with plans to create 2,000 high-skilled jobs across all our Mississippi data center operations,” Amazon said.
Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves highlighted the announcement, noting: “$25 billion total investment. 2,000 total jobs. @amazon is investing another $12 billion and creating 800 more jobs across Madison and Hinds County. That makes $25 billion and 2,000 jobs in announcements in Madison, Warren and Hinds counties in just the last two years.” Reeves added: “The company isn’t just reinvesting in our state — they are again betting on our people. Mississippi has momentum and THIS is our time!”
Amazon’s expansion includes an additional $11 billion for Madison County and a $1 billion investment in Hinds County, where it plans to transform the former Delphi manufacturing plant into a cutting-edge data center facility.
The company emphasized that its data centers power critical services—from healthcare systems improving patient outcomes to agricultural innovations reducing water use—while enabling research at unprecedented scales. In Madison County alone, more than 75 Mississippi companies are engaged in construction and operations, employing thousands of workers across trades.
Amazon’s Chief Global Affairs and Legal Officer David Zapolsky stated: “We’re covering all our energy expenses, increasing our investment in Madison County, expanding into Warren County, and transforming a former manufacturing plant in Hinds County—producing reliable infrastructure that will serve Mississippi for generations.” He credited Governor Reeves and local leaders as “outstanding partners” and noted the company is “just getting started.”
The investment also includes STEM learning initiatives: Amazon launched four dedicated Think Big Corners spaces in Canton elementary schools, reaching 10,000 students annually. Canton Public School District Superintendent Dwight Luckett called this preparation for both present and future careers. Additionally, Amazon now handles 17 of Extra Table Feeds’ 66 monthly food pantry deliveries statewide, supporting the nonprofit that distributed over 220,000 meals in 2025 with minimal staff.
