DES MOINES, IA – Gov. Chet Culver and Microsoft today announced plans for the company to open a new data center in Iowa. Details about the data center are forthcoming.
"On behalf of all Iowans, let me be among the first to say ‘Microsoft, Welcome to Iowa!’ In making its decision, Microsoft recognized what we in Iowa have known all along – our workforce and quality of life is second-to-none. One of my top priorities as Governor is to create good jobs with good wages, and together with Microsoft, we’re doing just that. Their decision to make Iowa their newest home will have a tremendous impact on our local economy and our state as a whole. Microsoft’s innovative spirit is a perfect match with that of our hard working people. We look forward to working with Microsoft in the coming months as this project takes shape, and expand our economic opportunities here in Iowa.”
