Google invests in TD, Oregon

THE DALLES — Google announced a company milestone Dec. 12: More than $600 million invested in Oregon this year, bringing its total investment in the state to $2.4 billion. This includes a new data center in The Dalles, built on a site once designated as an EPA Superfund location. A second facility is expected to be operational by 2026. 

Beyond infrastructure, Google also contributed $550,000 to Oregon organizations in 2024, funding projects like mobile solar power for emergency shelters, expanded healthcare access, and tech education.

Google also renewed its broadband commitment to Celilo Village, a Native American community on the Columbia River, by paying to extend the village’s broadband service contract through 2028.
