Amazon's $12 Billion Louisiana Data Center Project Could Bring 1,700 Jobs

Summary
$12 billion in planned Amazon data center investment across Caddo and Bossier parishes could support about 1,700 additional jobs in northwest Louisiana, alongside 540 direct operating roles.
Louisiana Economic Development says the campuses, led by STACK Infrastructure, may also create as many as 1,500 construction jobs during the buildout.
That pipeline comes as Louisiana added 10,500 construction jobs in the year through June 2026, a 7.7% increase that ranked first nationally by percentage growth.
The boom is widening opportunity for contractors and skilled trades in the Shreveport-Bossier area, but it is also straining labor supply, material costs, power availability and transport planning.
