Hello, Lebanon!

Meta is thrilled to announce that Lebanon, Indiana, will be home to our next state-of-the-art data center — our second in Indiana, 27th in our United States data center fleet, and 31st in the world. This data center campus will span roughly 4 million-square-feet as part of the highly advanced infrastructure that helps connect billions of people around the world.

Once completed, the data center will represent an investment of more than $10 billion in Lebanon, Indiana and support approximately 4,000 construction jobs at peak and over 300 operational jobs. Job opportunities for the data center will be on the Meta Careers page in a few weeks. For construction information and opportunities, please visit the website for the general contractors: https://www.lebanondatacenter.com/.

Lebanon stood out as an outstanding location for Meta to call home for a number of reasons. This vibrant city has robust access to reliable infrastructure, a skilled workforce, and great local partners that have been instrumental in propelling this project forward. Meta looks forward to contributing to Lebanon’s economic growth and technological advancement, fostering a future of shared success.

Meta is committed to driving innovation, creating opportunities, and advancing excellence in education for all the communities we support. Meta looks forward to launching our Data Center Community Action Grants program in the fall of 2026 – helping schools and local organizations put technology to use for community benefit, build strong, sustainable communities and improve STEAM education. Meta is also proud to bring programs to Indiana that help local small businesses and nonprofits grow their reach, such as our no-cost digital skills training.

Meta custom designs and builds our own industry-leading infrastructure at scale, and we prioritize efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability. We’re committed to being a positive contributor in communities like Lebanon, and that includes investing in new clean energy. We have worked closely with Boone Power and Wabash Valley Power Alliance from the beginning to plan for our data center energy needs and ensure we are paying the full costs for the energy used by our data centers so consumers are not negatively impacted. Over the next 20 years, Meta will also donate $1 million annually to the Boone County Community Trust, dedicated to providing direct energy cost assistance for families in need. We’ve also partnered with The Caring Center to provide dedicated utility assistance to eligible residents — delivering emergency water bill support to approximately 500 families. 

Meta prioritizes water stewardship, and has the global goal to be water positive in 2030. That means Meta will restore more water than we consume. In Lebanon, Meta will restore 100% of the water consumed by the data center to local watersheds and work in partnership with the City of Lebanon to pay the full cost of water and wastewater service for our data center.  We also prioritize water stewardship, and are already investing in making ecological improvements to the nearby Deer Creek.

Meta is proud to work alongside Governor Braun, Mayor Matt Gentry, Boone Economic Development Corporation, Indiana Economic Development Corporation, Boone County Chamber, Boone Power, Wabash Valley Power Alliance, The Caring Center, Mortenson, Turner Construction, Faith Technologies, and all of our great partners that have helped get us to today. Meta is thrilled to call Indiana and Lebanon home, and we look forward to having a strong partnership for years to come.
