Built & running
Google data center off Whiley Road (Lancaster)
Also called: Google Lancaster Data Center
Google built a large data center off Whiley Road in Lancaster. Local officials say it brings some high-paying jobs, but Google has not said how many. A neighbor lives about 200 yards away.
Where things stand: In May 2023 the mayor said construction had run about a year and it would likely open by the end of 2023.
🕒 Latest update (May 3, 2023): Google formally broke ground on its Lancaster and south Columbus data centers, part of a $2 billion-plus Ohio investment.
