PRYOR, Oklahoma -

Google likes Oklahoma, in particular, the industrial park just south of Pryor in Mayes County.

Google opened its data center at the Mid America Industrial Park late last year.

Wednesday morning, Google officials, Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin and State Secretary of Commerce Dave Lopez will be announcing a new facility next door to its current data center.

Google says the data center represents a $600 million investment for Mayes County and Oklahoma.

The Internet giant says the announcement means more jobs, but an exact number won't be made public until Wednesday.

The new facility will include a cafeteria, gym and laundry room.

That announcement will take place at the state capitol in Oklahoma City.
