Meta Platforms Inc. said it will spend more than $10 billion to build a data center campus in Lebanon, Indiana, ranking it among the company’s largest artificial intelligence infrastructure investments to date.

Meta on Wednesday broke ground on the Lebanon site, which it expects to deliver one gigawatt of power to potentially support both its AI projects and core social media business. The data center will span 4 million square feet and is expected to be operational at the end of 2027 or in early 2028, according to Rachel Peterson, Meta’s vice president of data centers.
