$1.5 billion: That's how much Facebook’s parent company will have spent on projects in Utah County after it nearly doubles its already gargantuan data storage facilities in Eagle Mountain.
Social media giant Meta said the expansion will boost its investments at the Utah County site to $1.5 billion.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg posted the announcement on Facebook Friday, a few hours after ebullient Meta employees welcomed visitors for a first-time tour inside one of five enormous H-shaped server buildings that stand starkly in an expanse of sagebrush and desert. Enlarging the new remote campus of immense metal-clad data warehouses and perimeter fences located out on the city’s south end will also employ 1,750 construction workers at peak and create up to 300 operational jobs when completed.
“We’re trying to plan a city of the future, which is something very different,” the mayor said, “and we could never do this on our own.”
