What the source record says
$87M total comprises roughly $35M of building and $52M of IT equipment, in the AmeriPlex at the Port business park north of I-94 and south of Ports of Indiana-Burns Harbor. At least 10 jobs at $100,000+ were committed, and Portage reported $7.5M of property taxes over ten years under the abatement agreement — that figure is taxes payable, not an abatement amount, so no subsidy entry is asserted. This is a small AWS edge/availability-zone site, entirely separate from the New Carlisle Project Rainier campus already tracked.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
Status history supplied by the source
- 2023-12-20 · source-reported proposed
Amazon announced an $87 million data center at AmeriPlex at the Port after a 2.5-year local recruitment effort.
- 2026 · source-reported operational
Reported as operational by commercial data-centre trackers. Compute Atlas does not cite those trackers — their terms forbid redistribution and this dataset is CC-BY-4.0 — and no primary record (county, utility or company) confirming operation has been found, so this status is carried at `rumored` confidence and is deliberately uncited.
