WELCOME TO SC, GOOGLE!
 
Google Ribbon Cutting 2


Google made its South Carolina debut last week with a ribbon-cutting ceremony for their newest data center located in Mt. Holly Commerce Park, and it is an impressive $600-million investment in the Lowcountry.

I can already tell that South Carolina and Google are going to make a great match. For starters, Google staff were wearing logo t-shirts where the “L” had been replaced with a palmetto tree. We love our state flag! I was especially excited to see the buckets of boiled peanuts that greeted both the locals and the Google employees who were from far away and visiting the area for the celebration.

In just one decade, Google became an industry leader and shaped the way people across the globe search the web. By choosing Berkeley County as the location for one of the nation’s most advanced data storage facilities, Google is expanding employment opportunities and nourishing a high tech community right here in the Palmetto State. As Google begins its second decade, Berkeley County will no doubt continue to build on Google’s reputation for innovation and creativity.
