| Attribute | Meta Hyperion AI Data Center | Amazon AI Data Center Campuses |
|---|---|---|
| Operator | Meta | Amazon (with STACK Infrastructure) |
| Parent | Meta Platforms, Inc. | Amazon.com, Inc. |
| Parish | Richland Parish | Caddo & Bossier Parishes |
| Status | Under construction — Phase II power expansion remains under LPSC review | Announced — Bossier final plat approved; third-campus special-use permit on appeal |
| Category | Hyperscale AI/data-center campus | Hyperscale cloud + AI campuses |
| Summary | Meta's Richland Parish campus is a $50B-class AI-optimized data center build — Meta confirmed a 5 GW build-out on July 13, 2026 — with roughly 4 million square feet across 2,250 acres. Phase I power is approved, while Entergy's Phase II expansion package remains under review at the LPSC. | $18 billion planned multi-campus Amazon/STACK development across Caddo and Bossier parishes, including a third campus at Resilient Technology Park in Shreveport. Public materials now tie the cluster to Bossier's technology-park final plat, up to 750 direct jobs across three campuses, and up to $400 million of regional water infrastructure investment. The Resilient Technology Park special-use permit is under appeal at the Louisiana Second Circuit. |
| Why it matters | Watch U-37425 and U-37882, Entergy substation and transmission work, groundwater reporting, and the ratepayer-cost debate around the larger Hyperion buildout. Labor, civil, and support-service demand remains one of northeast Louisiana's clearest supplier signals. | Track how the linked Caddo, Blanchard, Bossier, and Resilient Technology Park sites separate into their own permitting records. Water-service agreements, cooling-water discharge, wetlands buffers, substations, the pending Resilient permit appeal, and general-contractor packages are the load-bearing buyer signals. |
