1. Construction of new data centers in Ohio, Nebraska and Nevada.
2. Expanding existing data centers in Oklahoma and South Carolina.
3. Build a new office and data center in Texas (although it is unclear exactly where and Google has an office in Austin, Texas).
4. A new office and data center in Virginia and a new office in Georgia. With such additions, Google said its workforce in both states would nearly double.
5. Expand offices in Wisconsin, Chicago, Massachusetts, New York, Washington and Los Angeles. In some cases, Google will move several of its working groups into larger offices in the coming years, such as building a new Hudson Square campus in New York City.

Opening more data centers and offices is Google's right decision to further boost market share in the home country. Of course the company's campus in Mountain View will remain the largest, the workplace of the leadership as well as the board. Meanwhile, other large offices in Massachusetts, Washington and New York act as major technical centers. In addition, a large Google office in Chicago used to act as a sales center, but now is also the workplace of technical staff and products, and the new space in Detroit will operate primarily.
