# The AI infrastructure boom continues as Amazon plans to invest billions of dollars to build a data center in Missouri

According to Zhitong Finance APP, Amazon (AMZN.US) announced on Monday plans to invest billions of dollars in a new data center campus in Montgomery County, Missouri, further advancing its expansion in artificial intelligence and cloud computing.

The project will establish a dedicated campus, expected to create over 400 full-time jobs and thousands of construction jobs, covering projects such as roads, water supply systems, and digital communication facilities.

Amazon has committed to invest over $7 million in community development, including $3 million for emergency dispatch facilities, $1 million for creating community spaces, and providing grants to local projects and education through ChangeX.

Amazon stated that the campus will use 138 megawatts of carbon-free energy, sufficient to power approximately 28,000 households, and will employ efficient "free air cooling" technology, requiring water resources only 7% of the time throughout the year.

Amazon has also partnered with Arable Labs to improve irrigation efficiency for farmers, aiming to save approximately 100 million gallons of water annually.

Additionally, local officials expect the project to generate hundreds of millions of dollars in new tax revenue, whereas the previous tax revenue from this land was less than $9,000.

It is reported that this announcement comes at a time when global spending on artificial intelligence is significantly increasing. Amazon announced a capital expenditure plan nearing $200 billion by 2026, while global cloud service companies, including Alphabet (GOOGL.US), Microsoft (MSFT.US), and Meta (META.US), have seen their total spending on artificial intelligence infrastructure approach $700 billion
