Amazon Web Services

Amazon Web Services announced the location of its new data center campus along U.S. Highway 61 in Warren County, Mississippi, with the main entrance off Old Cain Ridge Road. The project is entering early construction with an initial $3 million infrastructure and site preparation investment. AWS evaluated Mississippi opportunities for eight years and engaged Vicksburg nearly six years ago. The campus will generate at least 200 full-time jobs plus 300 regional positions, with 1,000 to 1,250 workers on site during peak construction. Permanent roles average $70,000–$80,000 annually. Local contractors and workforce development partnerships with Hinds Community College are planned.
