Amazon's $10 billion investment in Richmond County, North Carolina, aims to establish a cloud computing and AI campus expected to create at least 500 direct jobs and support thousands more indirectly. The project is a significant economic boost for a region that has been economically challenged since the decline of the textile industry. Amazon plans to collaborate with local educational institutions to prepare the workforce for technical roles. This investment has been recognized as one of the largest in the state's history, promising to transform the community and stimulate economic growth.
This investment will position North Carolina as a hub for cutting-edge technology, create hundreds of high-skilled jobs, and drive significant economic growth, said Amazon's David Zapolsky.
Richmond County commissioners approved an incentives package for Amazon on Tuesday to support the expected job creation and economic investment.
