Amazon's profitable cloud business will invest roughly $7.8 billion by the end of 2029 to expand its data center operations in central Ohio, state leaders announced Monday, further advancing the state's efforts to establish itself as the Midwest's technology hub.
The new investments by Amazon Web Services, or AWS, were announced by Republican Gov. Mike DeWine and Lt. Gov. Jon Husted, who leads the governor's technology office. The financial outlay “further cements Ohio as the heart of our nation’s technology and innovation,” the governor said in a statement.
