Amazon Web Services is company behind Tucson’s Project Blue, according to 2023 county memo


Amazon Web Services is revealed to be the company behind the Project Blue data center proposed for Tucson.

The mysterious company behind the massive Project Blue data center proposed for Tucson is named as Amazon Web Services in a 2023 document about the development obtained through a public records request by Arizona Luminaria. “It just feels like we’re bending over backwards and contorting ourselves to accommodate what may well be Amazon to bring 70-plus fulltime jobs and to consume 1.3 gigawatts of energy and nearly 2 million gallons of water a day, and it defies logic,” Allen told Arizona Luminaria. In the web page, posted online this July, City Manager Tom Thomure writes in the overview, “While NDAs are a standard practice for economic development projects to protect confidential business information from competitors, they have also constrained fact-sharing to date.”
