Google's Douglas County, Georgia data center was the company's first major data center presence outside its headquarters, established in 2003 and expanded significantly over the following years. In 2007, Google built and opened its dedicated data center campus in Douglas County, followed by a $300 million expansion announced in 2015.\n\nLocated southwest of Atlanta, this facility powers a wide range of Google services including Google Analytics, and serves as a cornerstone of Google's eastern US infrastructure. Google has committed more than $3 billion in total investment to Georgia since establishing the Douglas County campus.\n\nA notable sustainability milestone was achieved in 2012 when Google began using recycled industrial water to cool the data center, reducing freshwater consumption. The Douglas County campus has generated over $19.3 billion in economic activity for Georgia businesses in 2025 alone, underscoring its significance to the regional economy.
