Google. Filed.

Google announced a new Texas Panhandle data center in Armstrong County as part of its 40 billion dollar, three site Texas investment through 2027, alongside two Haskell County sites. Google says the new Texas facilities will use air cooling technology that limits water use to site operations rather than server cooling.
