Meta to establish new $800M data center campus in Indiana

Governor Eric Holcomb, board chairman for the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, joined executives of Meta Platforms as the company announced plans to establish a new $800M data center campus in Indiana. The nearly 700,000-square-foot facility at the River Ridge Commerce Center in Jeffersonville, which will be the company’s 18th in the U.S. and 22nd in the world, will “be an important part of the global infrastructure that brings Meta technologies and services to billions of people around the world,” the Office of Governor Eric Holcomb stated. Meta is starting construction this month and expects the data center to be operational in 2026. In addition to the 100 operational jobs, the company also expects to support more than 1,250 jobs at peak construction. Governor Eric Holcomb stated: “Indiana’s efforts to cultivate industries of the future are already paying dividends for Hoosiers, attracting growth in critical sectors like data storage, semiconductors, energy and electric vehicles. We’re excited to welcome Meta to Indiana and look forward to the company’s partnership in growing Jeffersonville and the southeast Indiana region.”
