The Amazon Web Services data center near New Carlisle is about halfway built. Half of the 32 planned buildings have been or are being built. Seven of nine on the northern campus are done and running AI models, an AWS vice president said. The other two should come online in the first half of 2027.
The South Bend Tribune reports nearly 18 buildings have gone up. The last campus, called SBN 210, could fill wetlands. At an Oct. 22 county meeting, an AWS representative said construction will eliminate 4.82 acres of wetland. The company plans to create 10.2 acres.
