Project Rise is a planned Amazon Web Services campus on NIPSCO land beside the R.M. Schahfer Generating Station in Jasper County. The county's development agreement allows up to 13 data center buildings of about 280,000 square feet each. Amazon has bought part of the site from NIPSCO, which also supplies power and water. A new 345 kV load connection at the Schahfer substation serves the campus. NIPSCO's generation company is building new gas units and battery storage, paid for by Amazon, to supply Amazon's northern Indiana load.
AWS is providing the county $98 million upfront and $25 million for public water in Wheatfield Township. It is also funding a habitat restoration along Bogus Run with the Shirley Heinze Land Trust. As of September 2026 the project was in permitting.
