Facebook is expanding again in Fort Worth’s AllianceTexas corridor
Facebook will expand its data processing center in far north Fort Worth, but it’s unlikely the tech giant will bring high-paying jobs.
The Dallas Morning News reported Thursday that Facebook filed construction paperwork with the state to continue expansion at the AllianceTexas data center. Construction should be finished by 2022.
Facebook has had a presence in Fort Worth since 2015 and the company’s first building went online in May 2017. The company has been expanding steadily on the 150-acre campus.
The Star-Telegram reported in March, 2019 that the city of Fort Worth had approved incentives for Facebook, in partnership with nearby QTS Data Center, to invest $150 million at the data campus near Park Vista Boulevard and Texas 170. About $100 million of that is in the data center’s servers.
Facebook data centers typically employ few people with mid-range salaries.
The incentive package approved last year, which involved a 20% property tax break, included a minimum of four jobs with an average wage of $43,992.
