AVAIO Digital's Taurus data center is a $6 billion commitment to the East Metropolitan Center, with 60+ direct jobs and completion targeted for the first half of 2027.
AVAIO Digital's Taurus data center, landing in the East Metropolitan Center Business and Industrial Park, is a distinct project from Canton's Amazon campus a few miles north — and on its own it ranks as the third-largest investment in Mississippi history.
$6 billion in committed capital, with completion targeted for the first half of 2027, makes this one of the defining projects in Rankin County's history, not just Brandon's.
Two mega-projects landing within a short drive of each other — Canton's Amazon campus and Brandon's AVAIO Digital site — means the construction and skilled-trades demand across this whole corridor is compounding, not isolated to one town.
The businesses that treat this as one regional opportunity, not two separate one-off jobs, are the ones that build the capacity to actually serve both.
