Google buys Eagle Mtn. land

Internet giant Google has acquired land in Eagle Mountain in anticipation of potentially building a data center, the city announced at an event last week.

“Google choosing Eagle Mountain is a testament to the strength of our workforce and economy,” said Mayor Tom Westmoreland. “We hope they decide to build here and look forward to partnering with them in the future.”

Eagle Mountain City partnered with Utah County, Alpine School District, Unified Fire Service Area, the Central Utah Water Conservancy District and the Economic Development Corporation of Utah in its efforts to attract Google to the city, the release said.
