Google announced Friday a $600 million expansion of its Lenoir data center, bringing the company's total investment in North Carolina to $1.2 billion. The announcement came little more than six years after the California-based Internet search giant broke ground at its 215-acre site in the North Carolina foothills. At the time, the company said it hoped to expand on its initial $600 million investment. North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory and other officials on hand for Friday's groundbreaking said the construction of a third building on the campus underscores Google's long-term commitment to western N.C.
