Amazon Doubles Down in Northwest Louisiana | Baton Rouge News
Description
Amazon just dropped another $6 billion on northwest Louisiana, bringing its total data center investment in the region to a jaw-dropping $18 billion. That’s not just more servers — it’s a third campus at Resilient Technology Park in Shreveport, spreading operations across Caddo and Bossier parishes. The new push is expected to create 210 direct jobs, with Louisiana Economic Development projecting nearly 500 indirect roles — totaling over 700 new positions. And with all three campuses combined, Amazon could support up to 750 direct jobs and 1,784 total positions when indirect impacts are included. This massive expansion, announced just six months after their initial $12 billion pledge, leverages Louisiana’s tax exemption program and signals a serious, long-term commitment to the region’s economic future.
