Ohio Governor Mike DeWine unveiled exciting plans today for Ohio’s tech sector as he announced Amazon Web Services’ (AWS) intention to invest a staggering $7.8 billion by 2029. The massive investment aims to bolster the state’s data center infrastructure, fuel economic growth, and generate hundreds of employment opportunities.
In an official statement, Governor DeWine detailed that the forthcoming data centers will house a multitude of cutting-edge technology, including computer servers, data storage engines, network equipment, and various other crucial components utilized in cloud computing.
This latest development comes as AWS, a prominent cloud computing provider, expands its foothold in the Midwest. Having initiated its inaugural data center in Ohio back in 2016, the company has already contributed over $2 billion to the state’s economy, with the creation of more than 3,000 jobs.
The upcoming investment signifies Amazon Web Services’ commitment to Ohio, solidifying its position as a major player in the state’s rapidly evolving tech landscape. The infusion of capital will not only enhance Ohio’s technological capabilities but also serve as a catalyst for job growth and economic prosperity, ushering in a new era of opportunity for the region.
