Amazon Data Services has purchased more than 1,300 acres of land in Bastrop County near Cedar Creek, a significant acquisition reported in early May.1 The property, previously eyed for the Creekside master-planned community, positions Amazon advantageously for expansion in cloud infrastructure.2 This move benefits Amazon by securing ample space for advanced data center facilities amid rising demand.
County Advances Key Infrastructure Bid
Bastrop County issued RFP 26BCP03A for constructing a 13,640-square-foot Development Services Building, with a pre-bid meeting set for May 13 and questions due by May 27.3 Bids close June 24, with projected award on July 1, enabling the selected firm to enhance public development services through modern facilities.4
The Amazon acquisition highlights the company's strategic foothold, supported by its robust operations at aws.amazon.com and opportunities listed on amazon.jobs. These developments promise improved regional infrastructure.
Looking ahead, Amazon may pursue site plans and permits, while the county's building project nears contractor selection, fostering sustained business momentum.
