Google is proud to be building a data center in Jackson County.

In April of 2018, Google officially broke ground on its $600 million data center in Jackson County, Alabama. Once fully operational, our data center will employ 75-100 employees in a variety of full-time and contractor roles, including computer technicians, engineers, and various food services, maintenance, and security roles.

Since 2016, we've awarded more than $600,000 to local schools and nonprofits, particularly in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) through grants, events, and programs.

Why did Google choose Jackson County?

Jackson County has the right combination of energy infrastructure, developable land, and available workforce for the data center. We are looking forward to being a part of this community for many years to come.
