Amazon is establishing a new data center campus located within the Switch Citadel Campus at the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center in Storey County, Nevada. The project involves a partnership with Switch, Gray Construction, and Whiting-Turner to manage the facility's construction and development. The site is designed to incorporate energy-efficient cooling technologies, utilizing outside air for the majority of the year and water-based cooling during peak summer months to reduce power demand by 25-35%.

The project is expected to create hundreds of direct jobs at the campus, with thousands of additional roles supported throughout the region's construction and supply chain sectors. Amazon is actively recruiting for various technical and operational positions, holding hiring events in collaboration with Truckee Meadows Community College to prioritize local labor for the long-term operations.
