Data Centers: a growth industry in Oregon

"Data centers have become a growth industry in Oregon. Google kicked off the trend by building a large data center along the Columbia at The Dalles, five years ago. Microsoft and Yahoo both built data centers at different points on the opposite side of the river in Washington State."

"Facebook chose Prineville, Oregon's high desert country where nights are cool even in the summer to build a model data center."

And now Apple has Confirmed Plans for Another Large Data Center in Prineville.

Amazon has a newly opened facility in Boardman, OR, and "has two other data centers in the region -- an adjoining backup facility at the Port of Morrow and another modular backup at the Port of Umatilla. Port of Morrow officials say Amazon has enough land to build five more data centers at the main site."
