Bristol - Buffalo edge Bristol for Yahoo Data Site
New York Site Edges Bristol In Competition For Yahoo! Data Center | TriCities
BRISTOL, Va. – Wind fell from the sails of city leaders this week under the news that Internet giant Yahoo! selected a New York site over the Twin City for a new data center.
For the past year, city and state leaders have been trying to lure the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based firm to a planned business park adjacent to Sugar Hollow Park, said Doug Weberling, chairman of the city’s Economic Development Committee.
The $150 million data center will be built in Lockport, N.Y., just outside Buffalo, company officials announced during a Tuesday news conference. The facility is expected to create 125 jobs paying $65,000 to $75,000 a year, according to a company news statement.
That's really too bad. I didn't even hear about it. Those would've been GREAT jobs for Bristol.
