Google linked to local project
Blythewood has an exit off Interstate 77, but Internet giant Google would make the town a bigger stop on the information superhighway.
A massive data management center is being offered for 466 acres south of the growing Northeast Richland town.
Public records filed newly on Friday link the project with Google, though the company and most government officials won’t comment.
The proposed $200 million to $800 million data center that would be built in two stages has the capacity to employ as many as 600 people.
The complex would also include eight 10acre warehouses chock full of computer servers according to the recent proposal filed with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The corps should approve the plan, presented by Arum Composites as it calls for filling in 14 acres of creeks and streams.
