Forbes said that On Thursday, Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and its parent company, Alphabet, published a blog post announcing plans to invest $7 billion in offices and data centers this year across 19 states. The plans include over $1 billion earmarked for California and the expansion of offices in Atlanta, Chicago, New York and smaller cities.
The investment will help Alphabet expand its reach across the country and bolster the data centers that enable online search. While massive, it nonetheless marks a drop-off from Google’s prior spending; the company set aside $13 billion and $10 billion for similar expenditures in 2019 and 2020, respectively.
