Google Facility Planned in City of Kannapolis
KANNAPOLIS, N.C. –
“We welcome Google to the City of Kannapolis. As one of the biggest companies in the world they have the reputation of being on the cutting edge of technology and innovation and they have landed a premiere location in our City where businesses have found a strong business environment to invest,” commented Kannapolis Mayor Doug Wilson.
“We look forward to welcoming Google into our community and to see the growth of the Overlook 85 Industrial Park,” said Kannapolis City Manager Wilmer Melton.
“Google’s investment is evidence of the competitiveness of Kannapolis and the region,” said Irene Wong, Economic and Community Development Director for Kannapolis. “Our commitment to building a stable and diverse economic base is paying off, and our work with the Rowan EDC, Hudson Capital Properties, and Foundry Commercial show that partnerships bring results.”
Google has signed an 88-month lease and will be moving into the Overlook 85 Industrial Park at Exit 65 off I-85 in Kannapolis. The building will be used for warehousing and logistics for their supply chain, and Google will contract with a 3rd party logistics provider to manage the facility. The 729,872 square foot facility on Old Beatty Ford Road was developed by Hudson Capital Properties and marketed by Foundry Commercial. It is not a data center.
