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

  1. Proposed

    AWS confirmed as operator behind $10B Madison County development; two hyperscale complexes at Madison County Mega Site and Costas Property near Tougaloo College [Scope note, 2026-09-10: this entry is the 2024 historical record, when this row covered both Madison County campuses. The row was narrowed to the Canton Mega Site (927 acres) on 2026-09-10; the Ridgeland Costas Property is tracked separately as AWS Costas Property Campus (Ridgeland). Read the acreage and the 'two parks' framing here as history, not as this record's current scope.]

  2. Under construction

    Construction underway across approximately 1,700 acres in two Madison County industrial parks; completion expected 2027 [Scope note, 2026-09-10: this entry is the 2024 historical record, when this row covered both Madison County campuses. The row was narrowed to the Canton Mega Site (927 acres) on 2026-09-10; the Ridgeland Costas Property is tracked separately as AWS Costas Property Campus (Ridgeland). Read the acreage and the 'two parks' framing here as history, not as this record's current scope.]

  3. Operational

    The City of Clarksdale's March 2026 data center FAQ describes the AWS Project Atlas campus in Madison County as the only data center project in operation in Mississippi, with five hyperscale building developments in operation and more under construction.

Source notes

Two distinct complexes: Madison County Mega Site (outside Canton) and Costas Property (west of Tougaloo College near County Line Rd, Ridgeland). Amazon's total Mississippi statewide commitment expanded to $25B including subsequent Warren County ($3B) and Hinds County ($1B) announcements. Coordinates are approximate Canton-area centroid. The Veolia water partnership claim was removed: the About Amazon source names Arable (not Veolia) as water replenishment partner; recycled wastewater target of 83M gallons/year by 2027 is confirmed. Narrowed to Canton on 2026-09-10 (maintainer adjudication): this record previously combined two campuses. Madison County's own tax administration treats them as separate — it 'has entered into two fee-in-lieu-of-taxes agreements with the tech giant for its data center campuses in Canton and Ridgeland' (Mississippi Free Press, 2026-08-19) — and Magnolia Tribune (2024-07-24) gives the physical split: the Madison County Mega Site is '927 acres ... located off Highway 22 and Nissan Parkway in Canton', while the Costas Property is 'an additional 786 acres in Ridgeland'. The Ridgeland campus is therefore, as of September 2026, tracked separately as AWS Costas Property Campus (Ridgeland), and the land acreage here was reduced from the combined 1,700 to Canton's 927 so the two records do not double-count acreage. The capacity, investment and jobs figures on this record remain program-level figures from the original Project Atlas announcement covering both Madison County campuses; they are left in place here rather than split, because no source apportions them per campus. They should not be summed with AWS Costas Property Campus (Ridgeland), which carries no capacity, investment or jobs figures for this reason. The location was also corrected from an exact pin to an approximate pin: this record's notes already stated the coordinate is a Canton-area centroid, so the exact-pin claim was wrong. The two campuses are treated by Madison County's tax and incentive administration as legally and financially separate: the Madison County Mega Site (927 acres, off Highway 22 and Nissan Parkway, Canton) and the Costas Property (786 acres, Highland Colony Parkway / West County Line Road, Ridgeland), as confirmed by a 2026-08-19 Mississippi Free Press report on Madison County's denial of AWS's Canton tax-valuation appeal: the county 'has entered into two fee-in-lieu-of-taxes agreements with the tech giant for its data center campuses in Canton and Ridgeland.' The latitude and longitude (32.6121, -90.039) read as Canton-specific, closer to Canton than to Ridgeland. The combined capacity (1000 MW planned), investment ($10B) and jobs (7,000/1,000) are not apportioned by site: as of September 2026, no source found states a per-site breakdown, and apportioning by acreage share (54%/46%) would be a fabricated estimate. Ridgeland is itself within Madison County, so the aggregate's 'Madison County' framing is not geographically wrong, only combined.
