Google in Goose Creek?

Note that this information is outdated.

GOOGLE Inc. the Mountain View, California based internet company appears to be bringing hundreds of high tech jobs and a $750M development to Berkeley County near Goose Creek SC. A Google spokesman confirmed they were looking at the Goose Creek area but would not elaborate according to the local news. A new entity named Maguro Enterprises bought 520 acres in Mount Holly Industrial Park just off Hwy.52 between Goose Creek and Moncks Corner. The deal appeared to be notarized in Santa Clara County CA. Google Inc. has a headquarters in that Silicon Valley location. it is rumored that the deal could bring a $1 billion dollor investment and 400 to 800 high tech jobs over time with average earnings of $90,000 a year. It appears everything is being done under a company moniker "Pyrite LLC". I want to believe it is Google. Ron

I think you are on the right track my friend.

It sure seems like that is what they are up to...

What kind of land is it?

Are there any improvements?

Check out one of the fake names used in SC - it's "Pyrite LLC".

> Google's planning a $750m investment in what sounds like a huge server farm in South Carolina, if local press reports are accurate. A shell company, seemingly linked to the search engine, just bought 520 acres near Charleston. Google's staying mum on its plans, but the local county disclosed the scale of the planned investment, and the purchaser was said to be concerned about supplies of electricity and water.

>

> Last week a new company called Maguro Enterprises paid close to $17 million for 520 acres in Berkley County according to property records. Some of the documents from the sale were notarized in Santa Clara County, California. Google headquarters are also located there.

>

> Schnitt would not comment on what Maguro purchased or the location. All parties involved have remained secretive about the deal. In October Berkley County approved tax incentives for development, which were called "Project X" and "Project Y".

>

> Recently the name was changed to Pyrite LLC. Pyrite has plans to invest $750 million and employ around 400 workers making an average of $90,000 a year according to Jim Rozier, Berkley county supervisor.

Pyrite is the classic "Fool's Gold" - if you need any more proof that this is a lousy deal for the states that pay for it - calling it "Fool's Gold" is a slap in the face.
