Provider notes
Community. County commissioners unanimously approved; opposition group Preserve Montgomery County filed a Missouri Sunshine Law lawsuit against the commissioners (Feb 2026).
These reviews flag conflicting scope, inconsistent source text or support that has not been established. A withheld value may appear in the explanation, but is not displayed as an established field. The upstream row remains attributed under Sources.
- Announced investment: The source note identifies $15 billion as Google’s Missouri statewide infrastructure pledge; the campus itself is described only as multi-billion-dollar.
What the source record says
DISTINCT from aws-green-new-florence-mo (AWS Project Green): the two are on opposite sides of I-70 (Project Green north; Project Spade south, SE quadrant of the I-70/Hwy 19 interchange) - independently verified via DCD and Columbia Missourian. Site ~934 acres (~780 unincorporated + ~130 in New Florence). Developer: Related Digital. Campus targets 1.2 GW. INVESTMENT OMITTED: the $15B is Google's Missouri-STATEWIDE infrastructure pledge ('Google will invest $15 billion in building infrastructure in Missouri, including a data center in New Florence'); the campus itself is described only as 'multi-billion-dollar', so no firm campus investmentUsd is recorded. Amended from three buildings to two ~800,000 sq ft buildings; first operations targeted 2028. ~2,000 construction jobs and 'hundreds' of permanent jobs are projections (in notes, not jobs). Coordinates are an approximate site centroid (no verified parcel record).
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
