Amazon Web Services plan announced in January 2025 to invest at least $5 billion in data center campuses in Douglas County, west of Atlanta, with more than 250 full-time jobs. The county called it the largest capital investment in its history and approved a 15-year property tax break. It is part of a wider AWS plan of at least $11 billion across Douglas and Butts counties, which Amazon has not split by county.
