Google announces 50-job expansion at Oklahoma data center as Yahoo announces ... - Washington Post
Apr 4th 2012, 18:38

The announcement comes the same day Yahoo announced plans to lay off 2,000 workers, or about 14 percent of that company's employees.

Google's Oklahoma data center employs more than 100 workers and contains systems that support Gmail, Google Maps, Google Search and Google Plus — as well as a mechanical bull. Wooten said the new facility will house servers and have a cafe, gym, game room and office space. It will bring Google's investment in Oklahoma to $700 million, he said.

"In addition to expanding our operational footprint, our new facilities will enable us to offer services to our employees that will improve their day-to-day work experience and contribute to their health and well-being," Wooten said in a statement.

Gov. Mary Fallin thanked Google for its investment and said the state is committed to having an attractive business environment for the company. She also complimented a Google grand opening she attended.

"It was one heck of a party," she said.

Legislative leaders and Oklahoma Secretary of Commerce Dave Lopez also supported the announcement at the state Capitol on Wednesday.
