Google has announced a new data center project in LaGrange, Troup County, Georgia, to be located on Pegasus Parkway. While a specific timeline for operation was not provided, Google affirmed its commitment to cover 100% of the power and infrastructure costs for the facility, ensuring these expenses will not be passed on to local residents.
The project has received endorsements from LaGrange's city manager and the president of the LaGrange Development Authority. They highlighted that the data center would address a significant void in the city's utility system, which arose from the departure of its largest electric customer. This development follows a period where LaGrange had previously enacted a moratorium on data centers, which expired in March and did not impact the Google project as its construction was already underway.
