Google: Putnam County, WV

Site planned for 2028 and has expansions through 2033

Ownership: Google owns the building.

Lot Size: 1,700 acres

In 2026, Google purchased approximately 1,700 acres of land in Putnam County, West Virginia, for a multi-billion-dollar data center campus. Located near Buffalo, the site was officially approved as a "High Impact Development Project" on March 27, 2026.
