Article Presented By Pickaway Ross CTC…

Lancaster is one of two new sites for data centers that Google is bringing to Ohio. The other is on South High Street, near Scioto Downs.

The news could not be better, according to Lancaster Mayor David Scheffler. “Lancaster is ready for this moment. “We are a pro-business community; we have the infrastructure and we have the people. We are excited to welcome Google to our community.”

Since breaking ground on their first data center in Ohio in 2019, Google has invested more than $2 billion in the state.  Google added that it generated nearly $13 billion in economic activity for businesses and nonprofits.

“Tech is helping grow Ohio’s economy. The data centers announced today will help power Google tools for users across the nation and worldwide,” said Mark Isakowitz, an Ohio native and vice president of government affairs and public policy for Google. “We are proud to partner with the state and local communities to help fuel the state’s growth as a technology hub.”
