Apple Builds New Reno, Nevada, Facility, Searches for New U.S. Campus Site

01/18/2018
Apple is undertaking a new set of investments to build on its commitment to support the American economy and its workforce, which includes breaking ground on a new facility in downtown Reno, Nevada. The location will support its existing facilities.

According to company officials, Apple expects to invest over $30 billion in capital expenditures in the US over the next five years and create over 20,000 new jobs through hiring at existing campuses and opening a new one. Apple already employs 84,000 people in all 50 states.

The company said it plans to establish an Apple campus in a new location, which will initially house technical support for customers. The location of this new facility will be announced later in the year.

Over $10 billion of Apple's expanded capital expenditures will be investments in data centers across the US. Over the last decade, Apple has invested billions of dollars in data centers and co-located facilities in seven states, including North Carolina, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, and a recently announced project in Iowa.

"Apple is a success story that could only have happened in America, and we are proud to build on our long history of support for the US economy," said Tim Cook, Apple's CEO. "We believe deeply in the power of American ingenuity, and we are focusing our investments in areas where we can have a direct impact on job creation and job preparedness. We have a deep sense of responsibility to give back to our country and the people who help make our success possible."
