Amazon AWS - George Washington Blvd

Amazon AWS has acquired the Virginia Science and Technology Campus located on George Washington Blvd in Ashburn, Virginia, for $427 million. The company plans to develop this 122-acre site into a new data center campus. This acquisition adds to Amazon's significant investment and presence in Northern Virginia, a region often referred to as the "data center capital of the world." The university will retain the property for up to five years during its relocation process. Loudoun County, where the site is located, is known for its abundant power and favorable tax policies for data center operations, attracting major tech companies. Amazon's development plans for the site will involve community input and coordination with local leaders.
