Google will open a new artificial intelligence data center outside of Richmond, Virginia, as part of a $9 billion investment in the state, the company and the governor’s office announced Wednesday.
Virginia’s partnership with Google comes as Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) works to cement the state as a worldwide AI data center superpower. Virginia has more data centers than any other state, boasting approximately 35% of the world’s hyperscale data centers.
“Google’s $9 billion investment in Virginia is a powerful endorsement of our Commonwealth’s leadership in the AI economy. As AI is increasingly part of every aspect of work, this project reinforces our commitment to preparing Virginians for the future,” Youngkin said in a press release.
