Bossier City leaders will consider a measure to support future infrastructure project costs with an anticipated increase in local spending and business activity due to the construction of a data center in rural Bossier Parish.

Infrastructure Capital Fund

The council will consider an ordinance to establish the “infrastructure capital fund.” The fund will draw from a percentage of sales tax revenue that is expected to increase as the Amazon data center is constructed north of Benton.

Amazon and its development partner, STACK infrastructure, announced their commitment to a $6 billion investment for the construction of a data center campus in Bossier. The site will reportedly consist of six buildings, each measuring 218,000 square feet.

The city is also expecting an additional $12 million annually for selling water service to the Amazon campus. The city entered into a water services agreement with TXLAAR, a legal entity for the project, to provide water for the massive site.
