Wheatfield Township · Jasper County · Indiana
Coming to the AWS campus in Wheatfield? Start with the school line.
Jasper County approved an Amazon Web Services data center campus in Wheatfield Township in June 2026. If you're moving here to build it, run it or supply it, I'll find homes in Wheatfield, DeMotte and nearby, confirm water, sewer and the school district for each one, and reply the same day.
The project
What's being built
| The project | Data center campus of up to nine buildings · about $7 billion · about 250 jobs (approved June 17, 2026) |

How the move works
From offer letter to keys, with one broker
Step 2
Get a shortlist the same day
Homes and lots near the site that fit, each checked against the school line, water and sewer, and the builder's paperwork.
Step 3
Walk them by video before you fly in
I verify each home in person and send a video walk-through, so your trip is for signing, not searching.
Step 4
One contact from offer to keys
Same broker, same phone from the first text to closing or move-in. If you're renting first, ask about a lease with an option to buy, so you avoid moving twice.
Before you fall for a lot
Send me the address. I'll check the school line, the utilities and the builder.
School districts in The Flatlands follow townships, not mailing addresses or town names. Send a lot number, subdivision or street and I'll reply the same day with the district, water and sewer, and what's for sale near it.
