“This morning, Google confirmed that it acquired land in Buffalo, WV, for a potential data center campus. The company has and continues to conduct thorough due diligence to determine whether this site is a viable location. Google has company goals committed to sustainability and “paying its way” regarding utility infrastructure while complying with all state and federal permitting processes. The company engaged the Putnam County Development Authority to better understand the local community and has been receptive to the PCDA’s feedback on ways it can provide value. PCDA is enthusiastic to see what positive impact Google can make in West Virginia after learning about the company’s impact in other states through primary and ancillary jobs, infrastructure improvements, and significant financial contributions.”
