AWS to expand Ohio bit barns to the tune of $7.8B
Amazon Web Services is set to spend $7.8 billion between now and 2030 expanding its datacenter operations in the US state of Ohio., with sales increasing 16 percent to $21.4 billion in its most recent quarter. But even with operating income down to $5.1 billion from the $6.5 billion it reported in Q1 '22, it still far outstrips the Bezos company's other business segments.
The cloud services arm of the online bazaar said it had already sunk $6.3 billion into Ohio since 2015, and claimed that this latest move will provide hundreds of jobs and support thousands of additional jobs through the construction, operations, and onsite maintenance of the new facilities.the state had given the company tax credits, approved back in August 2014, with an estimated value of just over $4 million in return for those jobs.
The move was naturally welcomed by Ohio Governor Mike DeWine who claimed the project represents the second largest single private sector investment in the state's history. "Amazon is already one of the largest private sector employers in Ohio, and the company's continued growth here further cements Ohio as the heart of our nation's technology and innovation," Governor DeWine said in a statement.
Numerous locations in central Ohio are said to be under consideration for the new datacenter facilities, and a final selection of site or sites will be decided at a later date.back in January that it planned to invest $35 billion by 2040 in expanding its facilities in the nearby state of Virginia, home of Amazon's oldest region US-EAST-1 that formed the foundations of its cloud back in 2006. In contrast, US-EAST-2 in Ohio only opened for business in 2016, in Franklin and Licking counties.
