Is Microsoft coming to Westover Hills, San Antonio? As believed by local press reports, the conversion of the largest contiguous parcel remaining in Westover Hills could precipitate the siting of a huge Microsoft data center.
Although the town's planning and development officers have refused to comment, Microsoft is expected to make more news regarding its intentions for San Antonio available on 18 January. The corporation has previously confirmed it has considered the area for the construction of a US$980 million data center, covering 470,000ft┬▓ and employing 100 people.
The redevelopment taking place in Westover Hills, is opposite the $68 million Lowe's data center currently under construction.
According to a report by Express-News Business Writer, A. Lorek, (Door may be open for Microsoft, 05 January) representatives from CPS Energy met with Microsoft officials in Washington this week to talk about incentives for the new data center, according to a source close to the project. The project is expected to consume more energy than Toyota Motor Manufacturing of Texas' new Tundra plant.
