After its interest was first reported in August, Yahoo has purchased a building in La Vista near Omaha in the state of Nebraska to house its latest data center.
The Omaha World Herald has reported that Yahoo has applied under the Nebraska Super Advantage program, which requires a minimum $100 million investment and 50 high-salary jobs.
A person close to the proposed project was reported by the paper as confirming in August that the state was negotiating with Yahoo to build a data center in the Omaha metropolitan area.
The new building is reported to have ample available space for expansion.
To date Yahoo's newest data center was a 140,000-square-foot complex that opened in Washington state. It was a new build which is unusual for the search engine company which normally occupies existing buildings.
