Google Cedar Rapids Data Center (Big Cedar)
Google. Under construction
Google is building a data center campus on 414 acres at the Big Cedar Industrial Center in Cedar Rapids, part of a 576 million dollar initial project inside the company's broader 7 billion dollar Iowa investment.

This is one of three data center projects now moving forward in the same industrial park, alongside QTS and a smaller Oppidan facility.
