Google Expected To Announce Another Investment Into Mayes County Data Center

Senior executives from Google are expected to make an announcement about another investment into the company’s facility in Mayes County. Specific details will be shared in a news conference on Wednesday afternoon.

In April, Google CEO Sundar Pichai announced plans to invest $9.5 billion into its offices and data centers across the country, creating an additional 12 thousand jobs. The data center near Pryor will be a part of the investment.

The tech giant’s facility in Mayes County opened in 2011. In 2012, the first expansion happened with a $700 million investment and the construction of a four-story data center.

Three other expansions have happened to the facility, with the last coming in 2019. The company says it has awarded more than $3 million in grants to Oklahoma nonprofits and schools since arriving in the state.

Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt and other leaders will be in attendance for the announcement.
