Amazon Web Services (AWS) has pledged to invest $6 billion in developing its data center campus in Shreveport, northwest Louisiana.
The investment will bring AWS' total commitment to data center development in the state to $18 billion across three campuses.
In February 2026, AWS said it would spend $12 billion on data center campuses in Louisiana, including a multi-site buildout across Caddo and Bossier Parishes.
This has now been expanded to include a third location in Shreveport. The Shreveport project, like those in Caddo and Bossier, will be led by Stack Infrastructure.
The new campus will be located at the Resilient Technology Park, a 313-acre industrial park adjacent to Interstate 20 in west Shreveport.
Details about the expected IT and power capacity of the site, or the number of data center buildings planned on the campus, have not been shared.
The campus will create around 210 direct new jobs for the area once operational, and some 2,250 construction jobs during the build phases.
“Amazon’s decision to increase its investment in Louisiana so quickly sends a clear message about what they have experienced here,” Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry said.
“When one of the world’s largest companies chooses to deepen its commitment this early, it demonstrates confidence in our workers, our business environment, and our ability to execute. Amazon came to our state with an ambitious vision, and Louisiana has shown we can deliver at the scale and speed that vision demands.”
“When we announced our investment in northwest Louisiana earlier this year, we made a promise: Amazon pays its own way, and the communities where we operate will be better off because we’re there,” added Amazon's director of data center supply solutions, Keith Klein. “Increasing our planned investment to $18 billion means more good jobs for the region and more opportunities for local businesses. We’re continuing to protect ratepayers and strengthen this community for the long term.”
AWS will fund all water and wastewater improvements required by the projects, and is working with Southwestern Electric Power Company (SWEPCO) to fully fund the new energy infrastructure and grid upgrades required.
During its recent earnings call, Amazon revealed it was expecting its capex for this fiscal year to reach $220bn, up from previous estimates of $200bn, though this has been attributed to the "higher cost of memory."
