Amazon’s New Home in Louisa County

When you stream a movie, pull up driving directions or connect with a doctor through telehealth, there’s physical infrastructure behind all of it. And increasingly, that infrastructure is right here in Louisa County. Amazon’s roots in Virginia go back to 2006. Since 2010, Amazon has invested more than $190 billion across the Commonwealth, including infrastructure and compensation to our employees. And we have created more than 45,000 full- and part-time jobs. In Louisa, we’ve put more than $1 billion into data center infrastructure so far, supporting more than 1,850 jobs annually and contributing an estimated $376 million to the local GDP, and we are just getting started.
