Groundwork began in mid-November on Google's 109-hectare plot in Horndal, as confirmed by official sources. The company's building permit for the data center is also ready, according to the same sources. Currently, around 100 people are working at the site, with this workforce expected to continue until the end of summer, officials reported.
SVT Dalarna traveled to Horndal to hear what Horndal residents think will be the next step for the project. The specific timeline or details of Google's data center construction beyond the groundwork phase remain unclear, as do the long-term economic or social effects of Google's establishment on Horndal. How Google's potential establishment has noticeably impacted Horndal beyond the current groundwork and jobs is also unknown, with further developments awaited.
