Tech giant Google is exploring plans to construct a new data center in southeastern New Mexico. The proposed facility would be located in Lee County, and Google has initiated efforts to gather feedback from residents in the area.

In a blog post, Google indicated that the data center's water consumption would be minimal, on par with that of a standard office building. The company's outreach to the local community suggests the project is in its early stages, seeking public engagement on the development.
