This investment will establish multiple innovation campuses and create 1,250 new high-skilled jobs, as well as support thousands more in the AWS data center supply chain, according to Amazon.

The planned investment will see the development of data center complexes in Salem Township and Falls Township, with additional sites under consideration.

This move follows similar investments in other states, reflecting the company's ongoing efforts to maintain its leadership in AI and cloud computing technologies.
