‘Mystery project’ in Lenoir

News-Topic is reporting that there is a “mystery project” located off N.C. 18 in the Overlook Drive area. They also state that the Caldwell County Economic Development Commission, acting as a separate limited liability company, purchased more than $3 million in property, according to county real estate records.

Could this be the site of the once mentioned Google Data Center possibly coming to Caldwell County? That would be nice , but I do not know. The story mentions that the land was being graded. Most data centers are placed either partially or fully underground to protect the center from disruption from natural and man-made disasters.

**UPDATE**

The State has released an article regarding Google and NC push to land the search engine in Caldwell county.
