Google Project BOSC

Google is developing "Project BOSC," a new data center in American Township, Ohio, with an estimated investment of $500 million. This project represents Google's third data center in the state. The investment includes $50 million for local infrastructure upgrades, such as new roundabouts, and $13.6 million for water infrastructure improvements. Construction is anticipated to commence in 2026 and conclude by 2030, pending final permit approvals, including an air permit for diesel generators from the Ohio EPA. A water ordinance for five million gallons daily has been secured. The project is expected to create thousands of construction jobs and stimulate local economies through contractor accommodation and spending. Google has also entered into a 15-year tax abatement offset agreement, providing annual funding to Elida Local Schools.
