Microsoft is going to create a new bigger one Data Center, in Iowa, United States, which is expected to cost about 1,1 billion dollars.
The new Data Center will be built on an area of 623 acres in region West Des Moines, λίγα μόλις χιλιόμετρα από μία ήδη υπάρχουσα εγκατάσταση της εταιρείας. Η αρχική εγκατάσταση στο West Des Moines εγκαινιάστηκε το 2008 και για την επέκτασή της το περασμένο έτος δαπανήθηκαν 677,6 εκατομμύρια δολάρια. Το νέο έργο πρόκειται να είναι ένα από τα μεγαλύτερα του είδους, αφού σχεδιάζεται να καταλαμβάνει συνολική επιφάνεια 111.483,648 τετραγωνικών μέτρων.
The Iowa Economic Development Authority Board has reportedly approved the program and provided Microsoft with a tax credit amounting to $20,3 million. This discount will be available until 2021. It is worth noting that the annual revenue of the municipal authority of the region, from taxes that will be paid by Microsoft, will amount to 8 million dollars. At the same time, as announced with the completion of the project, 84 new jobs will have been created.
Creating the new one Data Center was formerly known as Project Alluvion and was an investment proposal that was considered by the Iowa Economic Development Authority
With the announcement of the project, the "mystery" of the company that was behind Project Alluvion was solved, which comes to be added to a series of investments in Data Centers in this State. In total, the related investments in Iowa amount to 2 billion dollars. In fact, in West Des Moines in particular, in addition to Microsoft, it also maintains a Data Center Facebook.
