Amazon prepares to begin construction on final SJC data center campus

NEW CARLISLE — Over two years after the project’s original announcement, the Amazon Web Services (AWS) data center, near New Carlisle and just west of South Bend, has made significant progress in construction. Split into one northern site and two southern sites, the $13.8 billion project’s construction began rapidly moving after breaking ground in October 2024 . Half of the total 32 buildings have been or are currently being built — each of which is about 216,000 square feet . Seven of nine buildings on the site’s northern campus have been completed, according to St. Joseph County Executive Director of Economic Development Bill Schalliol, while nine buildings have also been completed on the northern half of the south campus. "They've started doing site work and pulling permits for the rest of the buildings. I think they're still working through final site design," Schalliol said via phone Oct. 20. "... Our team, our various different divisions here, [are] working with Amazon pretty closely on finishing out their construction design." The seven completed buildings on the north campus are currently operational, said AWS Vice President of Data Center Delivery Josh Weissman via email, and have begun building, training and running AWS partner

St. Joseph County caught blue wave; slightly above average turnout

In the final hours of early voting on Nov. 2, voters at the County-City Building stood in a line that stretched back to the corner of West Lafayette Boulevard in cool, breezy conditions. As the early voting polls closed, nearly 31,000 had already voted. That number accounts for just under 40% of the total votes cast in St. Joseph County. But overall, voter turnout in the county for the 2026 midterm election didn't break any records. As a matter of fact, in the five midterm elections since 2010, this year's 77,909 votes pale in comparison to the 94,199 votes cast in 2018. "I think it could be tempting when we see a sweep of county offices by Democrats in St. Joseph County to think that St. Joseph County has returned to being a blue county," said Elizabeth Bennion, political science professor at Indiana University South Bend and vice president of voter services with the League of Women Voters South Bend. "I think that would be a misreading of what happened in this election. "We have a purple county, and it will continue to be competitive. And so, it will be interesting to see what the Democrats do, but they also
