What the source record says
105 Whiley Rd, Lancaster — distinct from Google's New Albany and Lima "Project BOSC" Ohio facilities. No site-specific investment figure is disclosed; Google has only published cumulative bundled totals across its New Albany+Lancaster+Columbus Ohio campuses ($1.7B Aug 2023, +$2.3B June 2024, ~$4.4B+ cumulative since 2019). No IT-load MW figure publicly disclosed. One 2024 article notes future buildings will "support Google's artificial intelligence innovation," but this is generic AI-as-one-of-many-workloads boilerplate rather than facility-specific AI/HPC/GPU marketing — no aiClassification set. Coordinates are an approximate geocode.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
