AP, SAN FRANCISCOAlphabet Inc’s Google plans to invest more than US$13 billion this year on new and expanded data centers and offices across the US. Chief executive Sundar Pichai in a blog post on Wednesday announcing the news said that the company is growing outside its Mountain View, California, home and across the midwest and south. Google is to build new data centers in Nevada, Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Ohio, South Carolina and Virginia. It makes good political sense for Google to highlight its expansions outside coastal cities, CFRA Research analyst Scott Kessler said. It currently has locations in 21 states, and is expanding into Nevada, Ohio and Nebraska.
