Investing.com -- Google announced plans to invest an additional $9 billion in Virginia through 2026 to expand its cloud and artificial intelligence infrastructure.
The investment includes a new data center in Chesterfield County and collaboration with local partners to address growing energy capacity demands through efficiency programs and innovative technologies.
Beyond physical infrastructure, Google is providing Virginians with free AI and job-ready skills training. As part of a broader $1 billion commitment, all Virginia-based college students now have access to the Google AI Pro plan and AI training for one year.
Several Virginia educational institutions, including the University of Virginia, Brightpoint Community College, and Northern Virginia Community College, are participating in the first cohort of the Google AI for Education Accelerator.
These educational resources complement the AI training available to all Virginia residents through the "Virginia Has Jobs" AI Career Launch Pad.
Google emphasized that its investment aims to create economic opportunities for Virginia while helping the United States maintain global leadership in artificial intelligence development.
