Meta breaks ground on $10B data center campus at LEAP district
Meta's $10 billion Lebanon campus will include 13 buildings and generate 300 permanent and 4,000 construction jobs, powering AI infrastructure with 1 gigawatt capacity, officials said.
- On Wednesday, Meta Platforms Inc. broke ground on a more than $10 billion, 1 gigawatt AI data center campus at the LEAP Innovation and Research District in Lebanon, Indiana, joined by Gov. Mike Braun.
- Meta said the project advances its AI infrastructure plans amid a hyperscaler arms race, fitting within its $115 billion to $135 billion capital expenditure this year and linked to a $600 billion U.S. investment pledge.
- A 1,500-acre campus will include 13 buildings including 10 data center buildings and logistics, warehousing, network and administrative support facilities, built over up to six phases.
- Officials say the development will create about 300 high-wage operational jobs and more than 4,000 construction jobs, while Meta confirmed it is funding the $10 billion investment and utility upgrades.
- The company has expanded the site by purchasing an additional 1,400 adjacent acres, increasing the project footprint nearly 5 miles by 1 mile by 62%, and Meta's Hyperion data center in Louisiana shows potential for substantial scaling.
