Amazon plans $10 billion（約1.6兆円） investment in Missouri data center campus, creating over 400 jobs and generating hundreds of millions in property tax revenue over 25 years.

What happened: On June 15, 2026, Amazon announced plans to invest $10 billion（約1.6兆円） in Montgomery County, Missouri, to build a new data center campus. The project is expected to create more than 400 full-time data center jobs and thousands of construction jobs. Amazon will also provide $7 million（約11億円） in community contributions, including $3 million（約4.8億円） for emergency dispatch services and a $150,000 Community Fund for local grants.

Why it matters: Amazon is expanding its cloud computing infrastructure (the servers and networks that power its AWS cloud services) to meet growing global demand for secure, reliable data center capacity. The company is also committing to cover 100% of the costs to provide electric service to the new campus, including all grid connection costs, and partnering with agricultural technology firm Arable Labs to help local farmers reduce water use. This signals Amazon's intention to make large-scale infrastructure investments while managing environmental and community impact.

What to watch: Local officials estimate the investment will generate hundreds of millions of dollars in new property tax revenue over the next 25 years. Amazon already employs more than 10,000 people across fulfillment, sortation, and delivery operations in Missouri, so this data center campus represents a major expansion of the company's presence in the state.
