Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.
Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.

Source notes
One of AWS's Northwest Indiana campuses (part of a $15B NW Indiana / 2.4 GW umbrella; distinct from Amazon Project Rainier and the separate Wheatfield IN campus). Capacity omitted: the 2.4 GW figure is the NW Indiana total, not Hobart-specific. Investment omitted: $15B is the NW Indiana total, no Hobart-specific figure. Up to 25 buildings ('Hobart Tech Park'), per the mayor's statement to NBC Chicago. As of October 2026 no land area is recorded: the only acreage figure found is a resident's remark quoted by NBC Chicago ("if we think this is going to stop at 725 acres"), not an official or operator figure; shell entities include Hobart Devco, Hobart Owner LLC, TUHAUS LLC/Wylie Capital. ~400 permanent jobs ($37-44/hr) are projections (noted here, not recorded as a jobs figure). $47M upfront community payment is city revenue, not facility capex. Coordinates estimated from 61st Ave/Colorado St. Active litigation: 'No Data Centers Hobart Indiana' sought a TRO on the fill permit (unresolved).
NIPSCO (GenCo, Merrillville); Amazon pays 100% of new power-infrastructure costs under a cost-allocation framework.
