The record, newest first

  1. The Columbia Missourian reported Google building its data center on the opposite side of I-70 from Amazon's. (Columbia Missourian (via Griffon News), Aug. 27, 2026)

  2. The county commission unanimously approved a Chapter 100 incentive package with personal property tax abatement only. (KOMU 8 (via KBIA), June 11, 2026)

  3. DCD tied the campus to developer Related Digital: 934 acres, two buildings of about 800,000 sq ft in total, and construction expected to start in 2026. (DCD, May 2026)

  4. Gov. Kehoe and Google announced a $15 billion data center in Montgomery County, with Ameren Missouri as utility partner. (Office of Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe, May 20, 2026; KOMU 8 (via St. Louis Public Radio), May 21, 2026)

Conflicts and open questions

  • Separate campus from Amazon's Project Green, which sits north of I-70 east of New Florence; together they cover about 1,900 acres (Columbia Missourian).
  • Acreage: about 910 acres in DCD's January 2026 report (780 county + 130 city) vs. 934 acres in its May 2026 report.
  • DCD's May article date is inferred as May 2026 from the announcement; the page did not show a dateline when opened.
  • Commission vote date (June 8, 2026) inferred from KOMU's June 11 report of a 'Monday' vote.
  • Jobs: the state cites hundreds of operations jobs; KOMU reported Google expects about 300 workers.

The full record

Status note
KOMU described the campus as under construction in June 2026 and the Columbia Missourian said Google was building it in August 2026; no completion date is public.
Power note
DCD reports the campus targets 1.2 GW; neither Google's nor the governor's release states the campus load, so mw is left blank. Google says it has contracted over 1 GW of new generation in Missouri and is backing 500+ MW more through Ameren.
