Google has bought a former paper mill in southeastern Finland and is likely to convert the facility into a data center, the company said today. Google will pay $51.6 million for the site, and expects to close on the purchase by the end of the first quarter.
Google (GOOG) has been slowing its data center development in the United States, recently idling a scheduled project in Oklahoma. But the company continues to invest in land deals in Europe in preparation for future data center expansion. In November Google purchased 185 acres of farmland in Kronstorf, Austria for future development as a data center.
