Mesa residents, we have every reason to celebrate as Google, a renowned tech giant known for innovation, announces a monumental $600 million investment in our city. This marks Google's very first facility in Arizona, signifying a momentous milestone for Mesa.
This substantial investment reaffirms our city's status as a thriving business hub, offering abundant opportunities and a climate conducive to growth. Google's decision to establish roots in Mesa underscores our economic vibrancy and boundless potential.
What sets this investment apart is Google's unwavering commitment to water sustainability. Their new data center will employ cutting-edge technology to minimize water usage, aligning with Google's responsible use of natural resources. This strategy prioritizes reducing our environmental footprint and championing sustainable practices.
In addition to these efforts, Google has pledged to replenish 120% of the water it consumes on average, actively contributing to our local watershed's health. Notably, they recently donated $150,000 to the Salt River Project to support watershed restoration and wildfire risk reduction.
As a dedicated councilman running for Mayor, I tirelessly advocate for Mesa's prosperity. Our partnership with Google is a testament to my commitment to fostering a business-friendly environment. Together, we envision job creation, economic expansion, and a brighter future for all Mesa residents.
