Google announces construction underway for second data center campus in Kansas City

Google has confirmed its involvement in Project Mica, a 500-acre data center campus in the Northland area of Kansas City. The company is continuing its growth with a second data center in the region, with construction already underway. Google has made significant financial commitments to the local community, including contributions to the Smithville School District and the Northland Career Center. The company has also entered into an agreement with Evergy to cover the full energy costs associated with powering both data center campuses. The new rate plan established by Evergy ensures that data centers pay their fair share and benefits existing customers.
