Amazon announced on January 25, 2024 that AWS would build two data center complexes in Madison County. Reuters placed the expansion in the context of rising cloud demand as firms adopted AI; AP reported state legislators’ approval of an incentive package that day. The investment and at least 1,000 jobs were planned or projected, not evidence that the campuses were complete or those jobs already existed. These are cloud facilities with an AI-demand connection, not facilities verified as exclusively AI. January 25 is both the announcement and cited reporting date.
