INDIANAPOLIS – Gov. Eric Holcomb announced Thursday that Meta Platforms Inc. will establish a new $800 million data center campus in southern Indiana. The new facility in Jeffersonville will support about 100 operational jobs and hundreds of construction jobs in the coming years.
“Today is a great day for Indiana and for our southeast region as we welcome a major investment to the River Ridge Commerce Center,” Holcomb said. “Indiana’s efforts to cultivate industries of the future are already paying dividends, attracting growth in critical sectors like data storage, semiconductors, energy and electric vehicles.”
Meta, which powers products like Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp, will construct a 700,000-square-foot facility, the company’s 18th in the U.S. and 22nd in the world. It will be an important part of the global infrastructure that brings Meta services to billions of people, a news release said.
Construction will most likely begin this month and it could be operational in 2026. The center is expected to create 100 permanent jobs as well as support more than 1,250 jobs at peak construction.
