Google announced that it will invest an additional $1.7 billion in data centers in Ohio. The investment will support the construction of three new data centers in the state, which will be located in Columbus, Lancaster, and New Albany.

The new data centers will help Google to power its artificial intelligence technology and other tools, and will also be available to businesses to store their data and run their applications. They will also create jobs in the construction and operation of the facilities.

Google is not receiving any tax credits or other public incentives for the investment. However, the company said that it is committed to using renewable energy to power the data centers.
The investment by Google is a significant boost for the Ohio economy. The company estimates that the new data centers will create up to 1,000 jobs during construction and 1,000 permanent jobs once they are operational.
The data centers will also generate tax revenue for the state. Google estimates that the facilities will generate $100 million in tax revenue over the next 10 years.
