Amazon Plans Salem Township-Falls Township, Pennsylvania, Operations

06/16/2025
Amazon plans to establish operations in Salem Township and Falls Township, Pennsylvania. The approximately $20 billion project is expected to create at least 1,250 jobs.

The investment will include the construction of two cloud computing and artificial intelligence innovation campuses.

“Amazon’s multi-billion-dollar investment in Pennsylvania reinforces our dedication to advancing AI innovation while creating lasting economic opportunities in the state,” said David Zapolsky, Amazon’s chief global affairs and legal officer. “By expanding our cloud computing infrastructure, we’re investing in Pennsylvania’s future through new jobs, workforce development programs, and community initiatives. We look forward to helping drive the next generation of technology innovation, while delivering meaningful benefits for Pennsylvania residents.”

Amazon currently operates 23 fulfillment and sortation centers and 20 last-mile delivery stations in Pennsylvania.

“Pennsylvania is proud to have worked alongside our local partners in Salem Township, Luzerne County and Falls Township, Bucks County, to win today’s unprecedented $20 billion investment from Amazon. The company’s data center campuses will drive enormous positive tax impacts for our Commonwealth, counties, and municipalities, and will create at least 1,250 high-paying, high-tech jobs as well as thousands of construction jobs,” noted Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) Secretary Rick Siger. “Every state wants to win projects like this one. Thanks to Governor Shapiro’s leadership and his get-stuff-done attitude, Pennsylvania is winning them. Our Commonwealth is built on innovation and this project sends a clear, strong signal to the world that Pennsylvania Gets It Done.”
