Google to share what its next plans are for central Ohio

The tech giant has scheduled an announcement for Tuesday morning at its data center on the city’s Far South Side.

Google hasn’t hinted on what its plans are, but has used similar platforms to announce investments in new data center sites or additional investments in its existing fleet of data centers in central Ohio.

Besides the South Side, Google has data centers in New Albany and Lancaster.

Google announced its first data center in central Ohio in 2019, a $600 million project in New Albany. In 2021, Google said it bought land on the South Side and in Lancaster, and then last August, Google said it was spending an additional $1.7 billion on its data centers.

Google’s data centers run its services such as search, Gmail and YouTube for users around the world.
