Amazon Web Services appears once again to be expanding its footprint in New Albany.
The company now has three sites for data-center complexes in the city, with a total investment of $1.7 billion in the New Albany International Business Park, according to a fact sheet provided at the New Albany City Council meeting Dec. 17.
The company has purchased 112 acres to build a 170,000-square-foot data center with an investment of $400 million at the northeast corner of Beech Road and Jug Street, according to city spokesman Scott McAfee and the fact sheet.
That facility would be built in addition to Amazon’s original data-center location in New Albany at 2570 Beech Road NW and a similar project site for which council approved incentives in November.
Council on Dec. 17 voted 7-0 to offer Amazon a 100% real property-tax abatement for 15 years for the project at Beech Road and Jug Street, according to the legislative report.
