Iowa

Since 2007, Google has been proud to call Iowa home. What began as a single hub in Council Bluffs has grown into a statewide commitment to sustainability, digital empowerment, and cutting-edge infrastructure. With the recent $7 billion investment to expand our footprint in Council Bluffs and establish a new data center campus in Cedar Rapids, we are deepening our roots in the Hawkeye State.
