Google to Buy Homes Near Fort Wayne Data Center for Buffer Zone

Google has announced plans to acquire homes near its data center in southeast Fort Wayne, Indiana. The tech giant stated that these purchases are intended to create a buffer zone for the surrounding area, not to expand the data center itself. A Google spokesperson confirmed that a local real estate partner will be managing the project and will contact property owners in the coming weeks.

The specific real estate group working with Google and the exact properties targeted for purchase have not been disclosed. This move comes as part of Google’s efforts to mitigate potential impacts on neighboring communities.
