Amazon AWS Announces $11 Billion Investment in Georgia for AI and Cloud Infrastructure

The expansion will create over 550 jobs and position Georgia as a growing hub for advanced technology and innovation.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) plans to invest $11 billion to expand data center infrastructure in Georgia, focusing on AI and cloud computing technologies.
The investment will create at least 550 high-skilled jobs, including roles in data center operations, engineering, and security.
Data centers will be located in Butts and Douglas counties, enhancing Georgia's appeal as a technology innovation center.
The initiative is part of a larger trend of tech companies increasing investments in AI, with AWS joining Microsoft and others in significant infrastructure spending.
Concerns have been raised about electricity consumption and environmental impact, as data centers are projected to account for up to 9% of U.S. electricity usage by 2030.
