Sell Land for Data Center Development in St. Joseph County, Indiana
St. Joseph County is the home of the Amazon Web Services campus Indiana announced at New Carlisle. If you own land in the county, the useful question is whether your parcel has a real power path — not whether you can borrow Amazon’s investment number. The read is free, and there is no obligation unless a deal closes.
The campus the state announced
On April 25, 2024, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation said AWS planned to invest $11 billion in a data center campus in north-central Indiana and create at least 1,000 jobs. The St. Joseph County Board of Commissioners president, quoted in that release, placed the campus in the Indiana Enterprise Center and described a buildout over about a decade. Associated Press reported the site as near New Carlisle, about 15 miles west of South Bend. The company’s plans were described as dependent on long-term energy agreements.
IEDC’s incentive description in that release included a data center sales-tax exemption term of 50 years on eligible investment, plus performance-based credits and grants, and up to $7 million from AWS toward State Road 2 road work. Those are announced commitments, not a land price.
What the utility order actually says
NIPSCO is the retail electric utility in the approved Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission order in Cause No. 46322. The order recounts testimony that Amazon Data Services committed to demand ramping up to 2,400 MW by the end of 2032, with energization beginning January 1, 2027, for one or more data center locations in NIPSCO’s territory. The order, in the passages used here, does not assign that 2,400 MW to a single county or parcel.
Treat 2,400 MW as contracted load Amazon is ramping toward inside NIPSCO’s northern Indiana territory, not as spare megawatts and not as a St. Joseph County-only figure. A later local news report (WNDU, July 23, 2026) said an AWS director put investment to date at $13.8 billion, with roughly 18 of about 30 buildings operational. That is a news account of remarks, called out below for a fact-check before anyone pitches it.

Parcel basics are enough to start. Free, and no obligation unless a deal closes.
Your information is reviewed privately. A submission is not a listing, and it does not obligate you unless a deal closes.
What this does not tell you
- No acreage price and no claim that land along State Road 2 is “worth” a share of $11 billion.
- The 2,400 MW figure is a contract ramp for one or more NIPSCO-territory locations, not headroom for the next landowner.
- This page does not publish a queue position for any private parcel.
If you own the land
- If your land is near the Indiana Enterprise Center, say so, and say how you know. Proximity is a fact. A megawatt claim without a utility letter is not.
- Sale or lease both belong on the intake. AWS’s own announcement was an energy-contract project, which is a reminder that power terms decide these sites.
- Submit at /submit-site. The Indiana page and the LaPorte County page are the neighboring context.

Questions landowners ask
Who is the utility?
For the contract in Cause No. 46322, NIPSCO is the retail provider. Confirm the provider on your own parcel; territory boundaries are not something to guess from a headline.
Is the $11 billion the land value?
No. It is the company’s stated investment in the campus. It includes the computing infrastructure, not a per-acre land trade.
Are developers still looking in this county?
The public record is an active, multi-year campus plus a utility contract still ramping through 2032. That is activity. It is not an offer on your land until someone reviews the parcel. Submit it.
