Apple to build new data center

Apple Inc, the technology company whose flagship product is the iPhone, announced on Thursday its plan to build a new data center in Waukee, Iowa, a midwestern US state. Headquartered in Cupertino, California, the company said the data center will be 400,000 square feet, or more than 37,160 square meters. The Iowa Economic Development Authority said Apple plans to purchase 2,000 acres, or 8.09 square km, of land in Waukee, a city with a population of nearly 14,000. Short of providing details, the IEDA said its board had approved tax incentives for Apple.
