Meta Commits Over $10 Billion to a 1‑GW Data Centre in Indiana, Betting on an AI‑Heavy Future

Meta will build a 1 GW data‑centre campus in Lebanon, Indiana, with more than $10 billion invested in the facility and nearby community, creating roughly 4,000 construction jobs and 300 permanent roles. The scale of the project signals a strategic push for large‑scale AI and content infrastructure but raises questions about power supply, local benefits and long‑term demand for such massive compute sites.
