Google seems to be expanding again as it is revealed that it is bound to invest on a new data center in Clarksville. According to reports, the tech giant plans to do the building on a former TVA mega site where the Hemlock Semiconductor once was. As of now, negotiation to buy the said piece of land is still underway.

By Monday, both the Clarksville-Montgomery County Industrial Development Board and the Montgomery County Commission will be gathering to vote on the said deal. If approved, the tech company would then be able to sign a formal agreement of purchase with the property owner, the Industrial Development Board, the next day.

Once the Google data center manages to materialize, it would bring positivity that will erase the negative impact brought by the shuttering of Hemlock's polysilicon plant in 2014. It is known that the $1.2 billion USD plant ended before it opened because of an oversupply of polysilicon.

The plant was originally thought of as a means to employ 500 residents, so it was promoted well by the county leaders at that time. With Google's goal of using renewable energy, the Tennessee location might have been appealing to it because of the former Hemlock plant's onsite substation existing infrastructure that Google can adapt to its own means.

Google's latest plan involves a $500 million USD fund. If this pushes through, it will be able to provide 70 full-time jobs to the citizens of the area. This comes following Google Fiber's plan of bringing its Internet and TV service into Nashville.

It would be the tech company's 15th data center and is expected to be similar to another site planned to be built on a former TVA coal plant site in Alabama, which construction is set to begin next year. This coal site is expected to cost about $600 million USD and will also provide 100 jobs.

Currently, Google is tight lipped regarding this new Clarksville data center. So no specific target dates for construction and operation have been announced as yet.
