AWS Fayette County data center campus
Amazon plans a $5 billion data center campus on about 590 acres near I-71 and Jeffersonville, backed by a 30-year property tax exemption and a JEDD agreement with Washington Court House and Jefferson Township. Also known as: Amazon Jeffersonville data center.
Who is behind it
The record, newest first
Washington Court House, Jefferson Township and Amazon Data Services signed a cooperation agreement to add the 589.843-acre site to their joint economic development district and to consent to the CRA exemption. (City of Washington Court House, Nov. 10, 2025)
Fayette County commissioners approved a CRA agreement giving new buildings on the roughly 590-acre site a 100%, 30-year tax exemption, according to the central Ohio building trades council. (Columbus/Central Ohio Building & Construction Trades Council, Jan. 30, 2025)
Amazon confirmed it plans to invest about $5 billion in a Fayette County data center site by 2030, as part of a roughly $10 billion statewide plan. (WDTN, Dec. 26, 2024)
Trade reporting said the state consumers' counsel asked FERC to protect AES Ohio customers from transmission costs for an Amazon Data Services data center in Jefferson Township; AES Ohio put first-phase costs at about $22.8 million and the load was slated to start at 65 MW in September 2026, growing to 1,500 MW by 2031.

Conflicts and open questions
- Coordinates are approximate: the I-71/US 35 interchange area near Jeffersonville, where reporting places the site. They are not parcel coordinates.
- Utility Dive (Nov. 18, 2024) places the AES Ohio-served Amazon Data Services load in Jefferson Township, with 65 MW at start and 1,500 MW across three phases by January 2031; that is a load schedule, so it is not entered as the campus's power.
