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.”

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

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.
