Major tech investment arrives
Google is preparing a $40 billion expansion in Texas, the largest financial commitment the company has made in any state. The plan is part of its national “Investing in America” effort and will focus on building new data center campuses, strengthening energy capacity, and supporting cloud and artificial intelligence infrastructure across the state.
Officials underscore technology and workforce goals
During the announcement in Midlothian, Governor Greg Abbott said the project highlights Texas’ position in the fast growing field of artificial intelligence. He pointed to the state’s energy resources and training programs as key strengths that align with Google’s plans.
Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai said three new data center campuses are slated for development, designed to handle the next generation of AI tools and services. He noted that the investment is expected to create thousands of jobs and expand training for college students and electrical apprentices.
Statewide economic impact
According to Google, the investment supports a broader push to maintain American leadership in AI by adding technical infrastructure, expanding research and development, and improving energy affordability. The company expects the project to create career opportunities across North Texas, West Texas, and the Panhandle.
The announcement included federal and state officials, including the U.S. Deputy Secretary of Energy and members of Google’s energy leadership team.
More photos and details will be released as they become available, along with additional information about Google’s operations in Texas.
It is a moment that shows how central Texas is becoming in the country’s evolving technology landscape.
