AI Data Centers in Indiana: Every Facility Tracked (2026)

Indiana is now home to the world's largest known cluster of non-Nvidia AI chips, anchored by a single 2,400-megawatt AI training campus in St. Joseph County. Ban the Bots' data center map tracks five major AI data center facilities and proposals across Indiana as of 2026, with 5,640 megawatts of combined disclosed capacity across four of those five projects — a buildout that also includes the largest single infrastructure investment one major AI company has ever made in one place, in Boone County. It's a shorter facility list than Texas (seven tracked facilities), though Indiana's 5,640 MW of tracked capacity already exceeds Texas's 4,500 MW and trails only Virginia's — concentrated in fewer, larger, more consequential projects.

Which AI companies are building data centers in Indiana?

Three major AI infrastructure operators have active or proposed projects in Indiana: Amazon Web Services, which built its Project Rainier campus in St. Joseph County specifically to run Anthropic's AI training workloads, and separately has a much smaller campus proposed in Boone County; Meta, which operates a facility in Clark County and is building a far larger campus in Boone County; and Google, which operates a campus in Allen County. Together they account for the five facilities and proposals tracked on this site's map, spanning northern Indiana (St. Joseph and Allen counties), central Indiana (Boone County), and southern Indiana (Clark County).

Why is Indiana attracting large AI data centers?

Indiana's buildout centers on two purpose-built industrial mega-sites rather than one organic hub. Amazon Web Services' Project Rainier sits on a 1,200-acre campus in St. Joseph County, built to run Anthropic's AI training workloads on Trainium2 chips — Amazon's own AI accelerator hardware rather than Nvidia GPUs — which is why it's described as the world's largest cluster of non-Nvidia AI chips. Meta's Lebanon campus, meanwhile, sits inside Boone County's LEAP District, a state-marketed advanced-industry megasite; at 1,437 acres and more than $10 billion in investment, Meta describes it as the company's largest single infrastructure investment to date. Both projects reflect a broader pattern: hyperscalers claiming large, contiguous parcels in the Midwest with room to keep expanding, rather than infill sites in already-saturated markets like Virginia's Loudoun County.

Water, power, and community pushback in Indiana

Water and power sourcing is documented for two of Indiana's five projects, and the pattern already includes organized local pushback:

• Google's Fort Wayne campus in Allen County lists Indiana Michigan Power (I&M) as its tracked water source, and pairs the site with a 188 MW solar power purchase agreement with Honeysuckle Solar.
• Amazon Web Services' proposed Whitestown campus in Boone County would draw on the White Lick Creek watershed via Indiana American Water. The project remains only proposed, and community groups in Boone County have already raised concerns about converting agricultural land to data center use.
• Meta's Lebanon campus, also in Boone County, is paired with $120 million in local infrastructure upgrades — including roads and water systems — as part of the deal, a sign of how much new infrastructure a single 1,540 MW campus requires.

Water sourcing is not disclosed in Ban the Bots' database for the AWS Project Rainier campus or Meta's Jeffersonville facility. For the broader pattern of water and power trade-offs across every state, see Ban the Bots' AI data centers near you explainer and the AI water use calculator.

Indiana AI data center facilities, one by one

• AWS Project Rainier – New Carlisle Campus (St. Joseph County; operating): a 1,200-acre, 30-building campus (each building exceeding 200,000 sq ft) built for Anthropic's AI training workloads on Trainium2 chips, the world's largest cluster of non-Nvidia AI chips; an $11 billion Phase 1 investment reached full operation in October 2025, capped at 2,400 MW, with a Phase 2 expansion adding a further $15 billion across northwest Indiana.
• Meta Lebanon Campus (LEAP District, Boone County; under construction): a 1,437-acre, 13-building campus (roughly 4 million sq ft) targeting 1,540 MW, announced in February 2026 with $10 billion-plus in investment; Meta's 31st global data center and its largest single infrastructure investment to date, including $120 million in local road and water infrastructure upgrades, with first buildings due online by the end of 2027.
• Google Fort Wayne AI Campus (Allen County; operating): codenamed Project Zodiac, a 700-plus acre, 12-building site bounded by Tillman Road and Adams Center Road, announced in 2023 with a $2 billion investment; operational in early 2026 at 1,200 MW, paired with a 188 MW solar PPA with Honeysuckle Solar, supporting Google Maps, Gemini AI, and cloud services with roughly 200 employees on site.
• Amazon Proposed Indiana Data Centers (Whitestown, Boone County; proposed): a 500 MW project announced in June 2023 as part of AWS's ongoing Midwest expansion, drawing on the White Lick Creek watershed via Indiana American Water; community groups in Boone County have raised concerns about the conversion of agricultural land.
• Meta Data Center – Jeffersonville (Clark County; operating): a 700,000 sq ft facility at the River Ridge Commerce Center, announced in 2024 with an $800 million-plus AI-optimized investment; capacity is not disclosed, with operations expected in 2026.

FAQ: AI data centers in Indiana

How many AI data centers are in Indiana?

Ban the Bots tracks five AI data center facilities and proposals in Indiana as of 2026, run by Amazon Web Services, Meta, and Google, with 5,640 megawatts of combined disclosed capacity across the four facilities that report a capacity figure (the fifth, Meta's Jeffersonville facility, does not disclose one).

Where are the AI data centers in Indiana located?

They're spread across the state: AWS's Project Rainier in St. Joseph County (New Carlisle, northern Indiana), Google's campus in Allen County (Fort Wayne), Meta's and Amazon's Boone County projects (Lebanon and Whitestown, central Indiana), and Meta's facility in Clark County (Jeffersonville, southern Indiana).

What is AWS Project Rainier, and why is it significant?

Project Rainier is Amazon Web Services' 2,400 MW campus in New Carlisle, Indiana, built to run Anthropic's AI training workloads on Amazon's own Trainium2 chips rather than Nvidia GPUs, making it the world's largest cluster of non-Nvidia AI chips. It reached full operation in October 2025 after an $11 billion Phase 1 investment, with a $15 billion Phase 2 already planned.

Has there been community opposition to data centers in Indiana?

Yes. Amazon's proposed Whitestown campus in Boone County — the same county where Meta's much larger Lebanon campus is under construction — has drawn concern from local community groups over the conversion of agricultural land to data center use.

Conclusion: tracking Indiana's AI buildout

Indiana's AI data center footprint is small in number but outsized in scale: a single Amazon Web Services campus built for Anthropic now anchors the world's largest known cluster of non-Nvidia AI chips, and Meta's Lebanon campus represents the largest infrastructure investment the company has ever made in one place.
