Summary$12 billion multi-campus Amazon/STACK development across Caddo and Bossier parishes. Public materials now tie the cluster to Bossier's technology-park final plat, 540 direct jobs, 1,710 additional regional roles, and up to $400 million of regional water infrastructure investment.Hut 8's River Bend campus pairs a 245 MW Phase I AI lease with a longer runway toward 1 GW of potential utility capacity in West Feliciana Parish. Public company materials frame it as a $10B-class campus with 2027 delivery still dependent on infrastructure execution.
Why it mattersTrack how the linked Caddo, Blanchard, and Bossier sites separate into their own permitting records. Water-service agreements, cooling-water discharge, wetlands buffers, substations, and general-contractor packages are the load-bearing buyer signals.Key watch items are Entergy service milestones, Hut 8's $16M parish water-system expansion, closed-loop cooling claims, and how much of the 1 GW potential becomes commercialized beyond the 245 MW initial lease.
