Amazon Expands in Shreveport with $6B | New Orleans News

Amazon’s pouring another $6 billion into Northwest Louisiana, bringing its total investment in the region to $18 billion — fueling a massive third data center campus west of Shreveport. This expansion will create over 700 permanent tech jobs and thousands of construction gigs, with local businesses set to benefit from major contracts. Despite legal hurdles from nearby residents who sued over city council approval, Amazon is pressing ahead with plans for a sprawling 1 million-square-foot facility plus office space — now scaled back to protect green space and funded by developers to avoid burdening existing residents. To ease concerns, Amazon is partnering with schools for workforce training, donating nearly half a million dollars to nonprofits, and hosting a community town hall later this month.
