COLUMBIA, S.C. — Hundreds of new jobs could be coming to South Carolina. Google announced it will expand an existing data center campus and add two new campuses in Berkeley and Dorchester counties.
The tech giant will invest $3.3 billion at all three locations, with $1.3 billion earmarked for expanding Google's existing data center and supporting continued job growth in Mount Holly Commerce Park in Moncks Corner in Berkeley County.
The remaining $2 billion will establish data center campuses in the Pine Hill Business Campus in Ridgeville and Winding Woods Commerce Park in St. George. The new locations are expected to create 200 new operational jobs.
The data centers will support the growing demand for Google's cloud services and artificial intelligence (AI).
"Google data centers are the backbone of digital services that underpin our modern lives, along with tech innovation like AI," said Monique Picou, Google Global Vice President of Cloud Supply Chain and Operations. "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.”
