HENDERSON (KTNV) — Google will invest an additional $600 million to expand its existing $600 million data center in the city of Henderson.
This additional investment was announced by The Nevada Governor’s Office of Economic Development on Wednesday.
“With this latest announcement, Google will bring their total investment in the city of Henderson to $1.2 billion,” said Mayor Debra March. “We are excited to see them grow both as a community partner and as an employer of high-quality technology jobs in Henderson.”
Google broke ground on a new $600 million data center in Henderson in July 2019. Once the facility is fully operational, the company will employ at least 50 full-time workers at an average annual salary of about $65,000 according to the city of Henderson.
