We’re strengthening our presence in Alabama through new investments and community support.

Jun 15, 2026 We’re strengthening our presence in Alabama through new investments and community support. Google has announced a $1.5 billion investment for 2026 and 2027 to expand its data center campus in Jackson County, Alabama. Operating since 2019 on a repurposed former coal-plant site, the facility powers essential digital services while driving long-term regional growth. As part of this expansion, Google is funding 100% of its own power and infrastructure costs. The company also announced a $2 million Energy Impact Fund in partnership with the TVA and CAANEAL to support local energy efficiency and weatherization programs. Furthering our community commitment, we’re donating $550,000 to provide STEM kits for local fourth-to-eighth graders. These initiatives build on Google’s long-term local impact, which includes supporting water stewardship in the Paint Rock River Watershed, training over 130,000 Alabamians in digital skills and generating hundreds of full-time and construction jobs.
