$3.3B Dorchester + Berkeley package (primary)
On Sept 26, 2024, the South Carolina Department of Commerce announced Google would establish two new data center campuses in Dorchester County (Pine Hill Business Campus in Ridgeville and Winding Woods Commerce Park in St. George, about $2 billion and 200 operational jobs) and expand its existing Berkeley County campus in Mount Holly Commerce Park, Moncks Corner (about $1.3 billion), for a combined $3.3 billion investment supporting cloud and AI demand (SC Commerce, Sept 26 2024)
$9B follow-on through 2027 (primary)
On Oct 13, 2025, Google announced a new $9 billion investment in South Carolina through 2027 to expand the Berkeley County campus and continue construction of the two Dorchester County sites, plus a Google.org grant to the Electrical Training Alliance to help prepare more than 160 apprentices (Google blog, Oct 13 2025; Dorchester County Economic Development)
Three-facility footprint / statewide investment (primary)
Google's South Carolina location page describes three facilities across Berkeley and Dorchester counties (including one of its first U.S. data centers) and states Google has invested more than $13 billion in the state since the Berkeley County site was built in 2007. A 2024 milestone on that page notes Google opened its newest data center in Dorchester County (Google Data Centers, South Carolina)
Berkeley origin / site names (primary)
SC Commerce notes the Berkeley County Mount Holly / Moncks Corner operation was established in 2007 as Google's first South Carolina data center. Dorchester County Economic Development frames the Oct 2025 $9 billion package as building on the 2024 Dorchester campus announcements then under active construction (SC Commerce, Sept 26 2024; Dorchester County Economic Development)
Dorchester acreage (press-reported)
Data Center Dynamics reported the Ridgeville / Pine Hill campus at about 230 acres (1055 Research Center Drive) and the St. George / Winding Woods campus at about 206 acres acquired earlier in 2024 under project aliases including Project Dawson / Mallard LLC and Project Evergreen / Gannett Enterprises LLC. Treat acreage and shell-company names as press-reported, not Google-primary (DCD, Sept 27 2024)
Dorchester jobs / Cloud-AI demand (primary)
South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster's Sept 26, 2024 release states the two new Dorchester County campuses represent a $2 billion investment creating 200 new operational jobs and will support growing demand for Google cloud services and AI, while the Berkeley County Mount Holly expansion is framed as a $1.3 billion investment supporting continued job growth (SC Governor, Sept 26 2024)
Electrical Training Alliance apprentices (primary)
Google's Oct 13, 2025 South Carolina announcement pairs the $9 billion through-2027 package with a Google.org grant to the Electrical Training Alliance intended to help prepare more than 160 apprentices, framed as workforce support alongside Berkeley expansion and continued Dorchester construction (Google blog, Oct 13 2025)
