Google announces $15 billion data center in mid-Missouri
ST. LOUIS, Mo. (First Alert 4) – Google announced it is bringing a $15 billion data center to mid-Missouri, located next to an already approved $35 billion data center run by Amazon.
The data centers are slated to go in Montgomery County in New Florence, 20 miles west of Warrenton along Interstate 70.
The two data centers combined would take up nearly 2,000 acres. Busch Stadium and Ballpark Village take up 28 acres, making the combined data center footprint roughly the size of 70 Busch Stadiums.
Google explained how it will be using advanced technology, hoping to limit water usage and reduce the environmental impact.
“We look forward to expanding Google’s investments in Missouri and helping Missourians benefit from the next wave of American innovation,” said Ruth Porat, President and Chief Investment Officer of Alphabet and Google. “To deliver the upside of technology, we are investing in workforce development and energy affordability, both directly and through our partnerships with local organizations. This commitment will provide thousands of Missourians with valuable technical and trade skills, while supporting energy affordability for residents in Montgomery County and across the state.”
According to Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe, in accordance with Senate Bill 4, Google will continue to pay for 100% of the power the data center uses and any new infrastructure costs that are directly driven by its operations.

Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway has announced a partnership she hopes will lessen human trafficking during the FIFA World Cup in Kansas City. Large events such as the World Cup are known to have an increased rate of human trafficking, and Missouri is working to get ahead of this trend.
Safe House Project is a nonprofit organization that aims to end human trafficking. The group has developed an app called Simply Report that gives people the ability to report to law enforcement any activity they feel is concerning.
Safe House Project CEO Kristi Wells said the Simply Report app uses artificial intelligence to parse the information people report.
“Everybody has a gut instinct, and there are times where we see something where we just aren’t confident, but we are concerned. And so the beautiful thing about using Simply Report is that they can share the suspicions and the things they’re seeing and they don’t have to know everything to report,” Wells said.
The app has been available for a year and there has already been considerable success in supporting victims of human trafficking.
“Within three months we saw a 371% increase in the number of victims identified and served by our organization and after 10 months we had a 1,200%,” Wells said.
A 2023 report from the Missouri Statewide Council on Sex Trafficking and Sexual Exploitation of Children, citing an analysis of 2021 data from the National Human Trafficking Hotline, said “As recent as 2020, Missouri had the fourth highest incidence rate of human trafficking at 4.32 per 100,000 people.”
Missouri was the fifth state to partner with Safe House Project. The state’s Director of Anti-Trafficking Operations, Diana Haines, said this issue is important to the Attorney General.
“Catherine Hanaway is committed to protecting victims and preventing exploitation,” Haines said. “The attorney general will always work to get every tool available into the hands of law enforcement to catch traffickers and hold them accountable.”
There is no intention to get rid of Simply Safe after the World Cup.
“We will continue to use and promote Simply Report following the games,” Haines said, “continuing to put the victims first.”
