Status: Approved / Active Site Planning (Announced May 20, 2026) | Location: New Florence
Formally unveiled by Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe on May 20, 2026, Google's new 900-acre hyperscale data center campus in New Florence represents a historic $15 billion economic expansion. This mega-development sits directly adjacent to a newly approved 1,000-acre, $35 billion Amazon Web Services (AWS) data center site, transforming Montgomery County along the Interstate 70 corridor into one of the highest-density digital infrastructure nodes in the American Midwest. Designed specifically to run Google's cloud ecosystem and compute-heavy AI training suites, the campus architecture explicitly addresses the growing friction over natural resource consumption. The multi-building campus integrates advanced closed-loop, non-evaporative air cooling technologies to eliminate traditional water waste. Alongside the massive physical buildout, Google has committed to regional energy affordability initiatives, community infrastructure grants, and a large-scale workforce program to train over 2,300 local construction laborers and apprentices during the build phase.
