Amazon is planning to invest at least $20 billion to establish multiple high-tech cloud computing and artificial intelligence innovation campuses across Pennsylvania, Gov. Josh Shapiro announced on June 9.
Salem Township and Falls Township are the first communities identified as sites for these future campuses.
Multiple additional Pennsylvania communities are under consideration.
“Amazon's multi-billion-dollar investment in Pennsylvania reinforces our dedication to advancing AI innovation while creating lasting economic opportunities in the state,” said David Zapolsky, Amazon's chief global affairs and legal officer.
“By expanding our cloud computing infrastructure, we're investing in Pennsylvania's future through new jobs, workforce development programs, and community initiatives. We look forward to helping drive the next generation of technology innovation, while delivering meaningful benefits for Pennsylvania residents," he said in a news release.
