Google Data Center in Putnam County Expected to Create Jobs
The Google data center planned for Putnam County is projected to generate 200-300 jobs, according to PCTC Principal CD Caldwell. This development is seen as an opportunity to equip local students with relevant skills for the workforce in technology-related fields.

The Google data center, set on 1,700 acres near Buffalo, is anticipated to create 200-300 jobs, based on reports from PCTC Principal CD Caldwell. Caldwell emphasizes that the Putnam Career and Technical Center (PCTC) is preparing students for these roles through computer science courses and industry-recognized certifications like CompTIA A+, Network+, and Security+.
He asserts that many of these jobs do not require a college degree, aligning with PCTC's goal to provide accessible pathways into the workforce. Concerns from residents about job creation numbers have been noted, but the principal advocates for the benefits of data centers and encourages a positive outlook toward this development.
