Northern Louisiana is turning into data center central.

Across the state from Meta’s under-construction Hyperion megaproject, Amazon and STACK Infrastructure just announced a $12 billion investment in a new hyperscale complex on the west side of the state, near Shreveport — and now, we know exactly where the buildings will be.

While initial announcements did not provide many specifics, only sharing that the complexes would be in Bossier and Caddo Parishes, reports from KPLC now confirm the three interconnected sites as: 

  • The intersection of Blanchard Latex Road and State Line Road, 
  • On the west side of Highway 3, roughly five miles north of Benton and
  • Resilient Tech Park at 7340 Greenwood Rd.

Amazon did not immediately respond to Technical.ly’s request to confirm the locations of each campus or how the $12 billion will be split across them.

Gov. Jeff Landry and other state officials have touted an outsized economic impact for northwest Louisiana stemming from the new developments, which are backed by Louisiana Economic Development.

Amazon is tapping into state workforce incentives like LED FastStart and the High-Impact Jobs Program to help support hiring, and it plans to take advantage of the state’s Data Center Sales Tax Exemption, according to a Louisiana Economic Development release.

The project is expected to generate up to 1,500 construction jobs and 540 permanent on-site positions, with an additional 1,700 jobs projected across the surrounding community tied to the three campuses, the LED release says. 

Amazon pledged that it will cover 100% of the costs associated with developing the new campuses, including infrastructure construction and related upgrades. While the total square footage has not been disclosed, construction is expected to begin imminently and bring the facilities online in phases over the next several years, per Louisiana Economic Development.

The new venture builds on a year of major data center announcements across the state. 

For the 3,650-acre megasite Hyperion in Northeast Louisiana’s Richland Parish, developed by Laidley LLC, Meta will spend $27 billion — a figure that has ballooned from its original $10 billion commitment in 2024 after it purchased an additional 1,400 acres . At least 4 million sq. ft. in size, it’s set to be the tech company’s largest data center complex in the world.

Plus, there’s Hut 8’s River Bend campus in West Feliciana Parish, announced in December 2025 and developed by Jacobs EPCM. The energy infrastructure company is investing $7 billion to $10 billion to build two 450,000 sq. ft. data centers during Phase 1 of construction, thanks to a change in local zoning law. By the end of 2026, Hut 8 plans to move on to Phase 2 development of additional data centers, Data Center Dynamics reported.

Here’s how Amazon’s recent announcement stacks up against Meta and Hut 8’s current builds.
