Google Plans to Invest $13 Billion on Data Centers and Offices Across the U.S. This Year

It'll soon have a presence in 24 states

Google plans to invest $13 billion in data centers and office space this year.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai today said the company is expanding its U.S. footprint, with plans to create “tens of thousands” of jobs while giving it a physical presence in nearly half the states in the country. The planned investments are a sharp increase from 2018, when Google spent $9 billion on data centers while also adding 10,000 new jobs.

“This growth will allow us to invest in the communities where we operate, while we improve the products and services that help billions of people and businesses globally,” Pichai said in a blog post.
