Google is committing $10 million toward stormwater filtration projects in communities where the company operates or plans to build data centers, with a portion of the funding directed toward projects in the Chesapeake Bay and Roanoke River watersheds.

About $4.4 million will go to Wyoming-based environmental technology company Frog Creek Partners to develop filtration systems in the two watersheds. The remaining $5.6 million will support projects in other communities with existing or planned Google data centers.

Google said potential projects include areas near its development in Chesterfield County, Virginia, and a planned data center in Botetourt County. The company has not yet determined where the additional funding will be spent and said it first needs to identify local priorities.

In Chesterfield County, where three Google data center projects were approved in 2025, the stormwater initiative comes amid growing community concerns about data center development and transparency. Google said Frog Creek plans to work with local jurisdictions but acknowledged it has not yet discussed the stormwater infrastructure plans with Chesterfield County officials.

The county Board of Supervisors is scheduled to receive an update on data center development Aug. 26.
