Google announces new $9 billion investment in South Carolina

Google is announcing a new $9 billion investment in South Carolina through 2027. This funding will expand our Berkeley County data center campus and support the continued construction of two new sites in Dorchester County, strengthening the state’s role as a critical hub for American infrastructure.

To ensure South Carolinians can access the opportunities created by this growth, we’re also providing a Google.org grant to the Electrical Training Alliance (etA). This grant will help integrate AI tools into etA’s training, preparing more than 160 apprentices for careers in the state’s growing tech and energy sector.

As we deepen our roots in the Palmetto State, we’re creating new jobs, helping to power the state’s digital economy for years to come, and advancing the U.S. as a world leader in AI innovation.

Today’s announcement comes on the heels of a number of major ongoing infrastructure investments across the U.S., as well as recent international investments in the UK, Belgium and other countries.
