`
`AUSTIN (KXAN) — Google is expanding its o!ces in Austin. The company will now occupy "ve #oors in a highrise at 200
`
`th
`West Second St. The move comes on the company’s 10 year in Austin.
`
`After starting with fewer than 100 employees, today Google has more than 450 Austin workers and with the new
`
`location hope to expand. Right now the company is "nishing out two additional #oors that are expected to be complete
`
`by early next year.
`
`The new space has an outdoor space where employees’ pets can go outside and play. Inside, the library space is
`
`designed to be a comfy lounge area. And of course, there is a cafeteria where Google provides breakfast and lunch for
`
`its employees.
`
`During a ceremony Tuesday, Mayor Steve Adler presented a grant to Workforce Solutions from Google. The
`
`organization helps train and connect workers with jobs. The grant will help fund Central Texas’ "rst regional workforce
`
`development plan.

`
`“We create a lot of jobs here in Austin but what we don’t do well is train the people who live here to take those jobs,”
`
`says Austin Mayor Steve Adler. “We are going to have 65,000 middle-skilled jobs in our city over the next several years
`
`and we have 40,000 people who are looking for work and we have to train the people who live here to take that work
`
`so we aren’t importing people to take those jobs.”
`
`Austin Community College says 2,200 new IT jobs are expected within the next four years
`
`(http://kxan.com/2017/07/25/austin-companies-look-to-"ll-demand-for-it-workers-with-acc-grads/) and they are trying
`
`to prepare students for careers in these jobs because they often are high paying.
`
`Adler continues to advocate for big name, high-tech companies to move to Austin and touts that having a company like
`
`Google already here helps attract other leaders in the industry to town. He also credits Google for making Austin the
`
`second city in the country to o$er Google Fiber.
`
`“They’ve been able to hook up a lot of our low income neighborhoods to the internet to help with the digital divide.”
