Provider notes
Energy. Amazon is covering 100% of grid connection costs. The two campuses were placed on separate transmission lines for redundancy across the Red River. SWEPCO is the utility provider.
Water. Amazon says it will fund all water and wastewater improvements required by the projects, investing up to $400 million in public water infrastructure across its northwest Louisiana campuses. That figure is program-level. No cooling technology or withdrawal figure has been published for this campus.
Community. Protesters at the February 2026 announcement raised water-use and environmental concerns about the northwest Louisiana program. Amazon's campuses are expected to become the largest property taxpayer in both Caddo and Bossier parishes. The litigation reported in connection with this program concerned the separate Resilient Technology Park site in west Shreveport, not this campus.
What the source record says
One of the two campuses covered by Amazon's $12 billion northwest Louisiana announcement; the other is just north of Blanchard Latex Road in Caddo Parish. KSLA places this campus about five miles north of Benton on the west side of Highway 3. STACK Infrastructure is the developer partner and each campus is approximately 2-3 million sq ft. Program-level figures are deliberately not attributed to this site: the $12 billion investment and the roughly 1,500 construction / 540 permanent job figures cover both campuses jointly, and Amazon's up-to-$400 million public water-infrastructure commitment covers all of its northwest Louisiana campuses. The separately announced Resilient Technology Park campus in west Shreveport is tracked as aws-resilient-technology-park-shreveport-la; KSLA reported on 2026-02-24 that it is not part of the $12 billion investment. Coordinates are derived from the published road description and are approximate; no parcel coordinate has been published.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
