Google Plans Dorchester County, South Carolina, Data Center Operations

10/04/2024
Google plans to establish operations in Dorchester County, South Carolina. The $2 billion project is expected to create 200 jobs.

The two new data center campuses will be located at the Pine Hill Business Campus in Ridgeville and the Winding Woods Commerce Park in St. George. The company will also invest $1.3 billion at its existing operation in Berkeley County.

“Today marks a significant milestone in Google’s collaboration with South Carolina. Our continued investment is a testament to the state’s exceptional workforce and thriving business environment. Google data centers are the backbone of digital services that underpin our modern lives, along with tech innovation like AI. We’re grateful for the collaboration with leaders in the state to not only grow our digital infrastructure here but contribute to this thriving community,” Google Global Vice President of Cloud Supply Chain and Operations Monique Picou said.

Google currently has 17 operational data center campuses in the U.S.

“We are thrilled Google has once again chosen to invest in South Carolina by establishing two new data center campuses in our state and expanding existing operations. The company’s significant investment of $3.3 billion will greatly benefit the Dorchester and Berkeley communities and beyond for years to come,” Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III noted.
