In a significant move to bolster its artificial intelligence infrastructure, Meta has announced plans to build a new, sprawling data center campus in Jeffersonville, Indiana. The facility is projected to require an investment of approximately $800 million and represents a major commitment to the company's AI-driven future.
Upon completion, the site is designed to support operations at a staggering scale of one gigawatt. This substantial power capacity is essential for running and cooling the vast arrays of advanced servers required for intensive AI research, development, and deployment. The project underscores the immense computational demands of the modern AI industry.
The Indiana data center, slated to be Meta's second in the state and 18th in the U.S., is expected to bring hundreds of operational jobs to the region. Company officials emphasized that the facility will be supported by 100% renewable energy, aligning with Meta's sustainability goals. Construction is anticipated to begin later this year, with a focus on supporting the long-term growth of Meta's family of apps and services through enhanced AI capabilities.
