Investing in critical infrastructure

Since 2024, Amazon has announced $25 billion in planned investment for cloud computing infrastructure in Mississippi, which is estimated to create 2,000 full-time positions at the data centers.

The company has made investments across Hinds, Madison, and Warren counties that are helping transform Mississippi's economy and are projected to generate hundreds of millions of dollars in new revenue, providing sustainable funding for essential services, schools, and infrastructure improvements that will benefit residents. In Madison County alone, more than 75 Mississippi companies are engaged in construction and operations, employing thousands of construction workers, electricians, and operational staff.

Amazon has partnered with AccelerateMS, Mississippi Development Authority, and both Holmes and Hinds Community Colleges to launch specialized training programs across the state. These efforts have already engaged more than 1,000 education and workforce leaders and provided valuable training to over 6,500 learners and job seekers throughout Mississippi.
