Google Inc. Prepares to Build in Michigan

California based Google, Inc. plans to open a facility in Ann Arbor, Michigan in the near future. State Governor, Jennifer Granholm, believes that the new facility which will employ 1,000 people within its first five years will help keep its young, technology savvy college graduates in the state. The project is also expected to help the state emerge from its present economical state and bring about just as many indirect jobs as direct ones.

The facility is being opened to help run Google's booming advertising services. A sales center office will be opened for Google Adwords in which employees will handle the pay-per-click service that is ever popular with Google users. Having already posted job openings for the new Ann Arbor location on its company web site, Google plans to have its new facility project up and running this coming fall.

Google, Inc. chose Ann Arbor because of the exquisite talent found in the area. Because Google, Inc. looks strongly at the raw talents of potential employees, they have high hopes in coming to the town that is home to the prestigious University of Michigan and other high-tech businesses. Google, Inc. presently has a small sales office in the city of Southfield.

Co-founder of Google, Inc., Larry Page, is an East Lansing native and graduate of the University of Michigan.
