It seems security is taken into account in that number:
Among the permanent jobs at the Sarpy center, Harbeke said, will be data technicians, people to maintain electrical and heating and air conditioning systems, and security personnel.

I’d like to think, given this is a $600 million dollar data center operation, it’d eventually employ much more 30 full time positions...

Google should follow other companies lead and put back office operations here. Imagine the payroll of their accounting office and what it would do if dumped into Omaha?

Now that’s an idea

This would increase the number of employees projected initially for this development 3 to 4 fold...

It is 30 jobs today. In 5 years it will be two jobs and 20 robots. This robot is from Google's Boston Dynamics Robotics subsidiary.
