Amazon Plans Glen Rose Data Center Campus Expected to Add 550 Jobs

Amazon plans to open a data center campus in Glen Rose, a community roughly 55 miles southwest of Fort Worth. The company says the project will create about 550 new full-time jobs.

The company has not disclosed the site acreage or total power capacity. However, a tax abatement application filed by Amazon, as reported earlier this year by Data Center Dynamics, describes a development of up to 18 two-story buildings on about 435 acres, with roughly $5 billion in planned investment.

Crypto Briefing reported in early November that the campus would be called Project Spectrum and is linked to a power purchase agreement of up to 1,200 megawatts. Those details have not been confirmed by the company in this report.

For developers and lenders, the scale points to a large industrial-scale power and land requirement, making utility capacity and abatement terms central to feasibility.
