Amazon says approximately 1,250 new "high-paying, high tech" jobs will be created by the $20-billion investment that includes a Falls Township campus.

Amazon announced on Monday it plans to spend $20 billion in Pennsylvania to create multiple data campuses that could create 1,250 jobs in the commonwealth. Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro announced the locations of the first campuses: in Salem Township and Falls Townships in Luzerne and Bucks Counties.

The company will use recycled water to cool its data centers at 120 of its locations by 2030, as it works to grapple with the environmental demands of the energy intensive operations.
