Amazon Web Services will occupy two Madison County locations for the historic buildout for hyperscale development centers, and a leader in the industry said Mississippi is on the right path for economic development.
Mississippi lawmakers met Thursday for a special session to potentially finalize $294 million in financial incentives for the Amazon Web Services $10 billion project in Canton and Madison County.
During a press conference at the Walter Sillers Building on Wednesday morning, Gov. Tate Reeves called for the session and said the project represents the single largest corporate capital investment in state history. Amazon Web Services will build two sites, one a 927-acre site and the other a 786-acre site for two hyperscale data centers.
Josh Levi said the news for Mississippi is “terrific.”
Levi is president of the Data Center Coalition, a membership association of leading data center owners and operators serving as the voice of the data center industry.
