Amazon to Invest $10 Billion in Ohio Data Centers

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced a $10 billion investment to expand its data center infrastructure across Ohio, expected to create hundreds of high-paying jobs by the end of 2030. This investment builds on previous commitments, bringing AWS's total planned investment in the state to over $23 billion by the decade's end. The new data centers will house advanced technology for cloud computing, including AI and machine learning, although exact locations for the facilities have yet to be determined. Governor Mike DeWine emphasized the critical role of data centers in the modern economy and their importance for Ohio's technological advancement. This initiative follows a broader trend of significant investments in data infrastructure, with AWS's growth contributing to Ohio's emergence as a technology hub. State and local governments have provided substantial tax incentives to support these developments.
