Google plans to establish data center operations in Montgomery County, Missouri.

The $15 billion project will include the construction of a two-building campus located on approximately 934 acres in New Florence.

“We look forward to expanding Google’s investments in Missouri and helping Missourians benefit from the next wave of American innovation,” said Ruth Porat, President and Chief Investment Officer of Alphabet and Google. “This commitment will provide thousands of Missourians with valuable technical and trade skills, while supporting energy affordability for residents in Montgomery County and across the state.”

“This project will deliver lasting economic benefits through new investment, support for local businesses, and meaningful community partnerships that help create opportunities for Missourians,” noted Michelle Hataway, Director of the Department of Economic Development. “Google’s commitment to community engagement, workforce development, and local initiatives demonstrates the type of corporate partnership that helps communities grow and prosper for generations to come.”

“Google’s continued growth in Missouri reflects both the strength of our state and the company’s long-term commitment to the communities where it operates,” added Subash Alias, CEO of Missouri Partnership. “This investment in Montgomery County represents another significant milestone for our state and reinforces Missouri’s position as a leading destination for technology and innovation.”

“For years, our community has worked strategically to prepare for transformational investment opportunities like this, and today that vision is becoming a reality,” said Brent Speight, Chairman of the Greater Montgomery Economic Development Council. “This project represents more than economic growth, it is an investment in the future of our residents, students, and region as a whole.”
