Amazon Web Services (AWS) plans to invest $11 billion to expand its data center infrastructure in Georgia, emphasizing the state’s growing role in cloud computing and AI technology development. This major expansion will create at least 550 highly skilled technical jobs, such as data center engineers, network specialists, and security experts. The new data centers will support advanced workloads, including generative AI and machine learning models, while also contributing to local economic growth.
AWS has maintained a strong presence in Georgia for over a decade, previously investing $18.5 billion since 2010 and contributing $20.1 billion to the state’s GDP. The company has supported 34,000 direct and 44,700 indirect jobs across the state. This latest investment is expected to generate thousands of construction and supply chain jobs in addition to the direct hires.
Beyond infrastructure, AWS continues to support Georgia’s communities through disaster relief and renewable energy initiatives. The company has collaborated with local organizations to deliver over 2.3 million essential items during hurricane relief efforts and operates eight solar farms, including the Bulldog Solar farm, capable of powering approximately 123,000 U.S. homes annually.
