Proposed-site record
High-confidence Wilmington AWS proposal with city/county planning, cooling, water-service, and wastewater context. The estimated 6 million gallons per year is a proposed design estimate, while the 400-600 MW remains unclassified project context; final utility, water-service, operating-use, and public-money records remain open.
This panel tracks what the facility is for without assuming that every project is AI training, inference, or cloud capacity.
The City of Wilmington describes Amazon Web Services' proposed nine-building hyperscale campus and its intended connection to the AWS global network. A March 2026 AWS comment-response letter, as summarized and linked by the county FAQ, adds proposed direct-evaporative cooling and estimated annual water-use context. The reviewed sources do not disclose facility-specific workloads or a training/inference split.
AWS is the proposed developer and cloud operator context, but the global-network description and the AWS cooling/water response do not establish a customer workload, training or inference use, hardware, or workload capacity. The nine-building plan and any 400–600 MW project-scale figure remain development context, not workload allocation.

Source dataset project_cost field reports $4 billion; the reviewed city/county FAQ says the land sale was private and points to public council packets for agreements, but does not establish completed spending, public subsidy, or an itemized public contribution.
Source reviewed September 9, 2026: the City of Wilmington and Clinton County say AWS plans direct-evaporative cooling with estimated use of about 6 million gallons per year, supplied by the city rather than onsite wells. AWS is pursuing a water-service agreement, and the city says a one-million-gallon tank and planned sewer improvements would support the project. These are proposed design and service-planning figures, not measured operating use or a final executed service quantity.
Source reviewed September 9, 2026: the City of Wilmington and Clinton County describe the proposed nine-building, 471-acre AWS campus and its site-plan process, but do not publish a utility load, interconnection approval, energized capacity, generation capacity, or data-center IT load. The dataset's 400-600 MW remains unclassified project context.
