Google said on Monday that it will contribute an extra $1.7 billion to support its three data center facilities in central Ohio.

In order to power its artificial intelligence technologies and other tools, the IT giant, which now has a center in New Albany, said in May that it would create other centers in Columbus and Lancaster.

Google’s vice president of government affairs and public policy, Mark Isakowitz, stated that the extra funding will be utilized to expand the New Albany facility and finish the Columbus and Lancaster centers, but he did not provide any other information.

Participating in Google’s announcement, Lt. Gov. Jon Husted stated that Alphabet’s Google was not given any tax breaks or other public incentives in exchange for expanding its data centers.

In the United States, data centers have spread widely and are now a welcome source of income for local governments. High-voltage transmission lines and a significant quantity of electricity are also needed for them.
