Current canonical record

Initial $600 million investment announced in 2015, with total investment exceeding $1 billion since 2018. Built on 350 acres adjacent to decommissioned Widows Creek coal-fired power plant.

Alabama's first large-scale data center. Creates 75-100 highly technical jobs. Total economic impact calculated at $129 million over 20 years.; Google reports $2B+ invested since 2018; former Widows Creek coal plant site; TVA power; ~143 MW estimated from investment. On June 15, 2026, Google announced an additional $1.5 billion investment across 2026 and 2027 to expand its operating Jackson County data center campus, plus a $2 million Energy Impact Fund with TVA and CAANEAL and related STEM/community support; the $1.5 billion is incremental expansion investment, not the historical total campus investment.
