Amazon continues Mississippi expansion, announcing plans to invest a total of $25 billion across the Magnolia State

Amazon is investing an additional $12 billion in central Mississippi, further expanding its footprint in the state. The plan includes an $11 billion upgrade to its existing data centers in Madison County, creating 700 new jobs, and a $1 billion project in Clinton, transforming the former Delphi Corporation plant into a state-of-the-art facility with 100 jobs. Combined with previous projects, Amazon’s total investment in Mississippi reaches $25 billion, supporting more than 2,000 jobs.

"Amazon isn't just reinvesting in Mississippi — the company is once again betting on our people. $25 billion in two years is providing Mississippians with high-tech, high-paying opportunities, strengthening our communities and showing the world that our state is open for business. This is what transformational economic growth looks like, and it's happening right here, right now. This is Mississippi's time," said Gov. Tate Reeves.

The Clinton facility marks Amazon’s first location in the city. "Amazon's $1 billion investment in Clinton is a tremendous opportunity for our community," said Mayor Will Purdie. "The revitalization of the former Delphi Packard plant will bring 100 high-quality jobs and an immense boost to our local economy. We appreciate Amazon partnering with our community and look forward to the positive contributions this will bring our residents."

In November 2025, Amazon also announced a $3 billion project in Vicksburg, creating at least 200 full-time positions, further cementing its presence in central Mississippi.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) drives the company’s cloud and data center operations and is the world’s most comprehensive cloud platform. AWS supports generative AI through advanced infrastructure, machine learning services, and agentic AI applications. Today’s expansion strengthens Amazon’s commitment to AI and high-tech infrastructure, helping businesses and government agencies innovate faster, cut costs, and scale operations.

"Amazon is expanding in Mississippi with $12 billion in new investments, $11 billion in Madison County and $1 billion to transform a former manufacturing plant in Hinds County," said David Zapolsky, Amazon’s Chief Global Affairs and Legal Officer. "These two projects will create 800 jobs and build infrastructure that serves Mississippi for generations. We're just getting started."

Mississippi Major Economic Impact Authority funds, local governments, and Entergy Mississippi’s long-term power commitment all supported the expansion. These investments highlight Mississippi’s growing role in high-tech and AI-driven industries.
