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.
Reported lifecycle history
- Proposed
Amazon announced an $87 million data center at AmeriPlex at the Port after a 2.5-year local recruitment effort.
Underlying source - Operational
Reported as operational by commercial data-centre trackers. Compute Atlas does not cite those trackers — their terms forbid redistribution and this dataset is CC-BY-4.0 — and no primary record (county, utility or company) confirming operation has been found, so this status is marked rumored and is deliberately uncited.
Source notes
$87M total comprises roughly $35M of building and $52M of IT equipment, in the AmeriPlex at the Port business park north of I-94 and south of Ports of Indiana-Burns Harbor. At least 10 jobs at $100,000+ were committed, and Portage reported $7.5M of property taxes over ten years under the abatement agreement — that figure is taxes payable, not an abatement amount, so no subsidy entry is asserted. This is a small AWS edge/availability-zone site, entirely separate from the New Carlisle Project Rainier campus already tracked.
