Google will build a new $2 billion data center in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Construction is now underway on the new data center and operational support complex on the southwest side of Fort Wayne.
The new facility is expected to create up to 200 new, competitive jobs, including facilities, data center technicians and support services, including security, catering and grounds keeping, in the coming years.
Google also plans to bring its Skilled Trades and Readiness (STAR) program to the Fort Wayne area in partnership with Ivy Tech Community College. Additionally, Google will work with Indiana Michigan Power (I&M) to bring new clean energy resources to the local grid.
“We are thrilled to announce our investment in Fort Wayne, Indiana, as the site for our newest data center,” said Joe Kava, vice president of global data centers at Google. “Our decision to make a commitment of this magnitude is a true testament to the strategic and collaborative nature of many leaders across Indiana, Allen County, and, particularly, Fort Wayne. Together, Fort Wayne and Google will help power the digital future, including AI innovation across our enterprise and consumer services.”
- In January 2024, Meta announced plans to build a new $800 million data center campus in Jeffersonville, Indiana.
