Google announced a $1.5 billion investment in 2026 and 2027 to expand its data center campus in Jackson County, Alabama. Operating since 2019 in a repurposed former coal mine, the facility powers key digital services while driving the region's long-term growth.
As part of this expansion, Google is funding 100% of its energy and infrastructure costs. The company also announced a $2 million Energy Impact Fund in partnership with TVA and CAANEAL to support energy efficiency and climate initiatives.
To further our community commitment, we are donating $550,000 to provide STEM kits to local fourth through eighth grade students. These programs build on Google's long-term local impact, which includes supporting water management in the Paint Rock River Watershed, training more than 130,000 Alabamians in digital skills and creating hundreds of full-time construction and construction jobs.
