Amazon Lamar County site
Amazon (filed as Amazon Data Services, Inc.). Rumored.
Amazon Data Services purchased about 985 acres off High Falls Park Road near I-75 Exit 198 in Lamar County for about 270 million dollars in July 2025, the largest real estate transaction in county history. The land was already zoned for warehousing and distribution as part of the Legacy 75 Trade Center, and Amazon has said only that it is evaluating the site and performing due diligence for a possible data center, with no formal data center application filed as of the most recent reporting found. Lamar County has since passed a data center moratorium affecting future development there.
