Amazon/AWS Data Center Campus (Calvert County)
Calvert County
Description
A potential data center campus with roughly eight buildings on land already zoned heavy industrial — no rezoning needed. No site plans have been submitted yet; a preliminary site plan phase and public meeting would come later.
Impact summary
If built, the project would bring at least 250 permanent jobs at $80k–$100k, thousands of construction jobs, and tens of millions in new tax revenue, using Constellation's existing cooling water rather than new water demand.
