Google Plans $1.5 Billion Expansion of Alabama Data Center Campus
June 16, 2026
Google's Jackson County data center occupies roughly 360 acres of the former Widows Creek coal-fired power plant, which was retired in 2015. Google selected the site in 2015, broke ground in April 2018 on a $600 million build, and brought the campus online in 2019. As of 2022 the campus comprised two data center buildings of roughly 135,000 sqft each and employed several hundred people.
In June 2026, Google announced a $1.5 billion expansion to be built out across 2026 and 2027. The project is expected to employ more than 1,000 construction workers and pushes Google's cumulative investment in the site past $2 billion, with Google funding 100% of its own power and infrastructure costs.
