Alphabet Inc’s Google said that it would invest more than $10 billion in offices and data centers across the United States this year. The company added that the new investments will focus on 11 states including Massachusetts, New York and Ohio.

"These investments will create thousands of jobs - including roles within Google, construction jobs in data centers and renewable energy facilities, and opportunities in local businesses in surrounding towns and communities," Chief Executive Officer Sundar Pichai said in a blog post.

Google plans to invest in offices and data centers in California, Colorado, Georgia, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington.

The portfolio is not as ambitious as last year’s plan, in which Google pledged $13 billion and vowed to expand to rural areas in states like Nebraska, Nevada, and Oklahoma. This year, Google seems to be mostly focusing on projects it’s already started. Pichai notes that the company is expanding offices or continuing previous expansions in a number of regions, from data centers in Nebraska and Oklahoma to the Cloud Campus in Seattle.

Google plans to open its new Hudson Square Campus in New York City this year as well as a new operations center in Mississippi and a new data center in Iowa. The company will also open a “major development” in Kirkland, Washington, later this year, and its massive office in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is still “under development.”

“Everywhere we invest, we strive to create meaningful opportunities for local communities,” Pichai wrote. “A powerful example is our data center in Pryor a town in Mayes County, Oklahoma...Google’s investments have helped provide local schools with the resources they need — including the latest textbooks and STEM courses — to offer a world-class education.”

Last summer, Google pledged to invest $ 1 billion in new housing in the Bay Area, work that it claims will accelerate in 2020. Such a US-heavy investment plan is certainly a diplomatic move for Google, as the US manufacturing sector sheds jobs and concerns about outsourcing and automation grow.
