Google plans to build two more data centers in Ohio to help power its artificial intelligence technology and other tools.
“Ohio is a growing technology hub and data center market, and we welcome these two new Google projects in Columbus and Lancaster to complement the one already in New Albany,” Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said in a statement.
Mark Isakowitz, Google’s head of government affairs in the U.S. and Canada, would not say how many jobs would be created, adding that data centers typically employ about 50 people at opening and those numbers increase as they expand. “If you look at some of the sites we have around the country, it’s hundreds and hundreds of people as you build and as you grow,” he said.
Data centers have proliferated across the U.S. and become a welcome revenue source for local governments. They also require a large amount of electricity and high-voltage transmission lines.mostly about the constant noise from fans needed to cool the computers and servers.
