Prineville, Oregon<\/a>;\u00a0Council Bluffs, Iowa; Quincy, Washington<\/a>; The Dalles, Oregon<\/a>; Mahwah, New Jersey<\/a>. \u00a0 Are these the cities that will drive future US economic growth? \u00a0These are becoming hubs of growth around cloud computing and big data research. \u00a0 While the industrial age in the US was driven by cities like Philadelphia, Detroit, Buffalo, Cleveland, these new cities are hosting massive data centers for housing data collected by companies like Facebook, Google, Microsoft and the New York Stock Exchange.<\/p>\n

Oregon in particular is seeing huge growth. \u00a0Thanks to tax incentives, good climate, cheap power, and the availability of water, growth has been very rapid \u00a0in a few of what are currently rural Oregon communities. \u00a0Big data is translating to big building and big construction. \u00a0The data centers and construction are bringing with them jobs and tax revenues. \u00a0In an effort to bring industry to Oregon, \u00a0land in different parts of the state has already been marked as pre-approved for large industries, removing most of the red tape normally involved in getting government approval.<\/p>\n

Facebook is building a 307,000 square feet facility in Prineville, Oregon. \u00a0Google is already in Prineville. \u00a0In and around The Dalles, companies like Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, and T-Mobile have set up business along the Columbia river. \u00a0But the activity isn’t limited to Oregon. \u00a0In Quincy, Washington, Microsoft, Intuit and Yahoo already have large centers. \u00a0In Council Bluffs, Google is setting up a $600 million data center. \u00a0Twitter is rumored to be planning a large data center outside of Salt Lake City. \u00a0And the New York Stock Exchange is setting up a 400,000 square foot facility in Mahwah.<\/p>\n
