The mysterious owner of the data center in Papilion, USA appears
In December 2016, the Papilion City Council of Nebraska, USA, approved a data center project to build four data centers on 146 acres of land in Salpi County, each covering an area of 610000 square feet (56670 square meters).
However, the owner of the data center was not disclosed at that time, which became a secret speculated by industry insiders. Now, this invisible company has finally revealed its true identity. Facebook, a social media giant, will build and operate this park.

At the press conference of Papilion City Hall, Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts, State Councilor John Murante, Papilion Mayor David Black, and Facebook Vice President of Infrastructure Tom Furlong attended the meeting. Facebook officially announced the project.
Furlong said that the data center park will continue to operate for many years. Ricketts, the governor of the state, added that this would create hundreds of time) jobs. An early proposal raised the number of construction jobs to 150.
While people are still paying attention to the details of Facebook's construction of the data center park and its impact on local residents, we will refer to a research result of the company's upcoming data center in Los Angeles.
