Google doubles growth in state as it preps new campus in Boulder

Google has doubled its workforce in Colorado in the last two years to more than 650 people, the company shared Wednesday in a new report on how its presence impacts local economies.

The Denver Post reports that the Silicon Valley search and advertising giant has two main locations in the state, including a data center in Thornton and offices in Boulder. The company is building a new campus in Boulder near 30th and Pearl streets to house up to 1,500 workers. When the project was announced in late 2014, the move-in date was set for first-quarter 2017, but that has not yet happened and the company did not provide a new completion date.
