FORT WAYNE, Ind. – One famous tech company is now planning to build a $2 billion data center in the Hoosier state.
Google’s new center will be in Fort Wayne near East Tillman and Adams Center roads, and it will help power services like Google Cloud and Google Maps. It could create about 200 jobs.
The company is also focusing on education and clean energy, by offering a skilled trade program and entering a partnership with Indiana Michigan Power. Plus, Google plans to donate $250,000 to organizations – including the Just Neighbors Interfaith Homeless Network – in the community.
