Morrow County Planners Greenlight Amazon’s 816,000-Square-Foot Boardman Airport Data Center Campus
Amazon Web Services is expanding its infrastructure footprint in the Pacific Northwest with a newly permitted artificial intelligence data center campus in rural Oregon. Morrow County planners officially approved the project, designated as AWS Boardman – Airport (PDX-154), on March 31, 2026. Situated just east of the Boardman Airport, the campus will span approximately 816,000 total square feet across four distinct buildings.
The campus breaks down into structures ranging from 190,000 to 218,000 square feet each. While specific power and IT capacity metrics for the individual facilities have not been publicly disclosed, the project is another technological installation in Morrow County's industrial zone.
How the Boardman Airport Project Fits Into the Regional AWS Footprint
The Boardman Airport campus is part of a broader wave of data center developments that Amazon Web Services is deploying across North America and internationally. Data Center Index tracks the PDX-154 project alongside several other AWS initiatives, illustrating the scale of the company’s current capital expenditure in digital infrastructure.
In the immediate region, Amazon is also pursuing the AWS Boardman Exascale Campus at Threemile Canyon, a 1 GW project announced in the same geographic corridor. Beyond Oregon, the tech giant’s pipeline includes the 2.2 GW Project Rainier in New Carlisle, Indiana, the 1 GW North Carolina Campus in Richmond County, and the 960 MW Salem Township Innovation Campus in Pennsylvania. Internationally, permitted and operational sites span from the 850 MW Zaragoza campus in Spain to 600 MW facilities in Frankfurt and 500 MW hubs in Tokyo.
For Morrow County, the arrival of PDX-154 highlights the county’s status as a location for computing operations. Local planning approval positions the site for upcoming construction phases, though exact timelines for ground-breaking and equipment installation remain closely held by developers.
