Is a Data Center Coming

Lancaster County, NE

Google Lincoln North Data Center

Google. Under construction.

Google is building its third Nebraska data center on about 580 acres northwest of 56th Street and Interstate 80 in Lincoln, a 1.2 billion dollar project the company confirmed after months of reporting. City officials expect the campus to come online in 2026, and Google held a community roundtable in August 2026 to answer questions about the project. The Lincoln campus is separate from a much larger data center that Google, Tenaska, and Tallgrass Energy have discussed for southeastern Nebraska, which could need far more power than the Lincoln facility.
