Opposition and litigation at this site

Partly. Both documented support and documented opposition to Amazon Web Services Bossier Parish Campus (Benton) in Benton, Bossier County, Louisiana appear in the record, with no clear majority position. Protesters at the February 2026 announcement raised water-use and environmental concerns about the northwest Louisiana program.

How the community has taken it

Reception is a sourced signal, not an editorial judgment: mixed reception means documented support and documented opposition both exist with no clear majority position on record.

Protesters at the February 2026 announcement raised water-use and environmental concerns about the northwest Louisiana program. Amazon's campuses are expected to become the largest property taxpayer in both Caddo and Bossier parishes. The litigation reported in connection with this program concerned the separate Resilient Technology Park site in west Shreveport, not this campus.

Power and water

Amazon is covering 100% of grid connection costs. The two campuses were placed on separate transmission lines for redundancy across the Red River. SWEPCO is the utility provider.

Amazon says it will fund all water and wastewater improvements required by the projects, investing up to $400 million in public water infrastructure across its northwest Louisiana campuses. That figure is program-level. No cooling technology or withdrawal figure has been published for this campus.

Notes on the record

One of the two campuses covered by Amazon's $12 billion northwest Louisiana announcement; the other is just north of Blanchard Latex Road in Caddo Parish. KSLA places this campus about five miles north of Benton on the west side of Highway 3. STACK Infrastructure is the developer partner and each campus is approximately 2-3 million sq ft. Program-level figures are deliberately not attributed to this site: the $12 billion investment and the roughly 1,500 construction / 540 permanent job figures cover both campuses jointly, and Amazon's up-to-$400 million public water-infrastructure commitment covers all of its northwest Louisiana campuses. The separately announced Resilient Technology Park campus in west Shreveport is tracked as aws-resilient-technology-park-shreveport-la; KSLA reported on 2026-02-24 that it is not part of the $12 billion investment. Coordinates are derived from the published road description and are approximate; no parcel coordinate has been published.

What the record does not establish, and the document that would

In every fight on our tracker the decisive fact came out of a public records request. These are the requests for this site.

  • Power capacity in megawatts
  • Permanent jobs promised
  • Land area
Which document closes each gap
Power capacity in megawatts
The utility's large load service agreement, the interconnection request in the grid operator's queue, or the electrical site plan in the permit file.
Permanent jobs promised
The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.
Land area
The rezoning application, the plat, or the deed recorded with the county.

Distances are between recorded coordinates, many of which are a city or county centroid, so treat them as approximate. Cumulative load on one utility and one aquifer is the question a planning commission rarely asks.
