The National Security Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers broke ground this month on a new $1.2 billion data center in Utah according to a Salt Lake Tribune article. The new facility at Camp W.G. Williams National Guard Post, project-managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, will be constructed by a joint venture between Balfour Beatty, DPR, and Salt Lake City-based Big-D Construction. The one million square foot facility is the largest Department of Defense project in the nation.
"This will bring 5,000 to 10,000 new jobs during the construction and development phase," Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said at the groundbreaking event on January 7. "Once completed, it will support 100 to 200 permanent, high-paid employees."
"We've been fortunate here in the state," said Jim Judd of the Utah AFL-CIO labor unions. "The NSA project will pick up the commercial construction business. It will provide long-term employment help for the state until, hopefully, the economy recovers."
