Sell Land for Data Center Development in Richmond County, North Carolina
In June 2025 Amazon put a $10 billion data center campus on the record in Richmond County. If you own land in the Hamlet–Rockingham area, that is the fact. It is not a comparable for your acreage. A confidential read is free, and there is no obligation unless a deal closes.
The announcement
On June 4, 2025, Governor Josh Stein and Amazon said Amazon planned to invest $10 billion in a cloud and AI campus in Richmond County and create at least 500 jobs. Amazon’s own post describes the same investment and job count, plus a $150,000 community fund. Reuters reported the announcement the same day.
Richmond County’s news release the same day is more specific about the site: an estimated $10 billion campus in the Hamlet–Rockingham area, on nearly 800 acres in Energy Way Industrial Park, with 20 data center buildings of about 200,000 to 225,000 square feet each. The county called it the largest single capital project in state history. Use the county’s acreage and building counts as the county’s description of the AWS site, not as a template for every field in the county.
What a neighbor can and cannot take from it
Duke Energy serves this part of the state. Confirm the operating company and the substation on your parcel. There is no public ISO large-load queue for Duke Energy Carolinas or Duke Energy Progress cited on this page, and no megawatt figure is attached to the Richmond County campus in the governor’s release used here.
Energy Way Industrial Park is the named site. Land elsewhere in Richmond County is a different submission. Say where it is, what the zoning is, and whether you will sell or lease. The Catawba County page is Apple’s older campus, not this one.

What this does not tell you
- No power-delivery date and no megawatt total for the campus, because the releases cited here do not provide one.
- No land price. $10 billion is Amazon’s stated project investment.
- The 800 acres are the county’s description of the AWS site, not vacant land available to you.
If you own the land
- A new campus of this size pulls contractor and utility attention. It also pulls opposition and infrastructure conditions. Neither is a bid.
- Submit location, acreage, and power context at /submit-site.

Questions landowners ask
Is the campus in Rockingham or Hamlet?
The county said the Hamlet–Rockingham area, inside Energy Way Industrial Park. Do not invent a street address beyond that.
Does $10 billion mean they are still buying land?
It means Amazon announced a campus investment. It does not mean every parcel in the county is in play, and it does not disclose what they paid for the 800 acres.
How do I ask for a read?
Submit the site. You can stop after parcel basics; that partial is saved.
