NEW ALBANY (AP) — Ohio’s first Facebook data center is now up and running.
The company says its center in New Albany will eventually employ more than 150 people, up from 50 now.
Mike Reffle is director of data center operations for Facebook.
He said the first two buildings on the 340-acre campus went online Thursday.
The center already plans to add two more buildings with an eventual investment of $1 billion.
Former Gov. John Kasich and Ohio’s JobsOhio economic development wing announced the center in 2017 in hopes of persuading other tech companies to invest in Ohio.
