Facebook expands in Oregon with data center, fi ber-optic cable Prineville is a continuation of the great part- ner they are for the city and the community,” Beebe said. “The technical jobs that come with expansions like these are great, but there is not as much focus on the jobs that are created from the trade industries. Plumbers, electricians, construction workers and many more trades are in high demand at sites like Facebook’s and it continues to add to the job market in our area.” Facebook’s data centers have worked to be energy and water-effi cient. The Prineville cen- ter is supported by two solar projects. It also has a water restoration project to overcome increasing water demands to cool the center. Typically, data centers aren’t large employers for their size. They are drawn to the community because of Oregon tax breaks that provide tax exemptions, low power costs and stable weather. Apple also has a data cen- ter in Prineville. The area where the data centers are located is in an enterprise zone that gives businesses property tax exemptions for a period of years. For Facebook, it’s 15 years. The expansion, while applauded by city and state offi cials, was not embraced by Rick Steber, a Prineville businessman. “I do realize there is a need for the services provided by Facebook and Apple centers, but it’s that old adage, not in my backyard,” Steber said. “They are an eyesore when viewed from anywhere on the north side of Prineville.” By SUZANNE ROIG The Bulletin Social media giant Facebook announced Thursday that it will add two new buildings to its campus in Prineville that will make it the largest in its fl eet of data centers in the United States. The two new buildings will add 900,000-square-feet to the campus, expand- ing the 11-building campus to 4.6-million- square-feet or the equivalent to nearly 80 football fi elds. Construction is poised to begin next month and should be complete by 2024. Two other buildings that were announced in June will be completed in 2023. Its investment in the Prineville center is about $2 billion, the company said. Facebook is also nearing completion of bringing a fi ber-optic cable ashore in Tierra del Mar, according to The Associated Press. Crossing the Pacifi c Ocean, it will link mul- tiple U.S. locations, including the data center in Prineville, with Japan and the Philippines. Facebook opened the fi rst data center in Prineville in 2011 and employs as many as 1,000 people. The campus is located in a city with a population of 10,000. Prineville Mayor Jason Beebe called the expansion “great news” and said he believes it will help attract other businesses to the community. “This latest investment into their site in We’ve gone ABOVE & BEYOND to make sure you are COMFORTABLE & SAFE at your next dental visit.

I saw the highest standard of health safety practices in effect during my hygienist appointment today—much higher precau- tions than I’d seen in a local hospital when having tests last month. The new sanitation equipment and attention to patient safety at Klemp Family Dentistry is in keeping with a dental practice I consider cutting edge with respect to all my dental needs. It’s wonderful having a world class dental practice here at the coast, one where I can have procedures performed for which I used to have to travel to a specialist in Portland. I have been a patient of several local dentists in the past, but none had the skill and, more importantly, the attention to patient comfort that Dr Klemp provides.
