Google today announced plans to grow its South Carolina footprint by establishing two new data center campuses in Dorchester County and expanding its existing data center campus in Berkeley County. The company’s combined investment of $3.3 billion will create hundreds of new jobs across both counties.
Data centers support the company’s digital services including Google Cloud, Search and Maps.
The new Dorchester County facilities, located in the Pine Hill Business Campus in Ridgeville and Winding Woods Commerce Park in St. George, represent a $2 billion investment and will create 200 new operational jobs. The facilities will support growing demand for the company’s cloud services and artificial intelligence (AI).
In Berkeley County, Google will invest $1.3 billion to expand its existing data center campus, located in the Mount Holly Commerce Park in Moncks Corner, and support continued job growth. Established in 2007, the Berkeley County operation was the company’s first in South Carolina.
“Google's latest investment will strengthen South Carolina's position as an emerging leader in technology and innovation," said Gov. Henry McMaster. "We are proud to support Google's operations in Dorchester and Berkeley counties and look forward to the many opportunities our continued partnership will create for our people.”
