A division of high-tech giant Amazon will be the operator of the Project Blue data-center complex proposed for the Tucson area, a newly released memo says.
Amazon Web Services, which stores data for both large and small web users worldwide, was shown on a memo as the operator of the secretive project.
“Project Blue is Amazon Web Services,” said the memo, whose existence was disclosed Monday by the website AZ Luminaria, which said it obtained the document through a public records request.
The memo is undated but AZ Luminaria, which posted it online with its news story, said it was from 2023 and was prepared by Pima County government.
