Welcome to Google's Lenoir, N.C., Data Center (
Page 1 of 10 ) On May 21, eWEEK was on hand for the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Google’s newest data center, a sprawling complex situated on 225 acres of rolling peaks and valleys in Lenoir, N.C., part of Caldwell County. The data center cost $600 million to build, and Google employs hundreds of state natives to run it. Lenoir and Caldwell County officials are hoping the data center will boost the county's economy, which suffered when 250,000 furniture factory workers lost their jobs from 2000 to 2002. (No, Google reps didn't let anyone inside, although eWEEK tried.)By Clint Boulton
