Facebook Data Center in Prineville, Oregon
Facebook plans to begin construction on a 110-acre data center campus in Fort Worth. The proposed deal will include four buildings and total nearly $1B in investment. Gov. Greg Abbott’s office confirmed the long-rumored project on Monday, as reported by the Dallas Business Journal. Facebook plans to break ground on Tuesday on the site east of the Interstate 35W corridor in north Fort Worth near a cluster of other large data centers. North Texas has the third-largest data center market in the US, including data centers for AIG and Blue Cross Blue Shield. [DBJ]
