Google has announced it will make a $300 million investment to build another data center in Council Bluffs.
The Mountain View, Calif.-based company announced at a news conference Tuesday that the center will bring about 50 new jobs to the city in western Iowa, across the Missouri River from Omaha, Neb.
Officials say construction will begin immediately. Google's existing $600 million data center opened in 2009.
Last week the Iowa Economic Development Authority board approved more than $9 million in tax credits to help Google select the Iowa site.
