Google: No Plans Yet for Blythewood, SC Site

It’s now been more than a year since Google announced any new data centers. That’s a big change from 2007, when the search giant unveiled four new data centers in six months, announcing $600 million projects in North Carolina ^[1], South Carolina ^[2], Oklahoma ^[3] and Iowa ^[4].

There have been rumors that Google was planning data centers in Greenburg, Kansas ^[5] (not true, the company says), Denver, Colorado ^[6] and Lithuania ^[7], and Google has reportedly been scouting sites in several Asian countries ^[8]. Rumors fly, but we’ve seen no announcements.

How about Blythewood, South Carolina, where Google has already bought 466 acres of land ^[9]and filed site plans for a potential future data center? “We have no development plans for the Blythewood site to announce at this time,” said a Google spokesperson. “However, we regularly review our resources and customer needs, and will keep the community informed if and when new plans develop.”
