Prineville/Crook County Economic Development’s 2019 Annual Lunch, featuring local data center updates from Facebook after ten years on the frontier, along with present and future industry trends from STACK Infrastructure, takes place June 10.
How has the high-technology sector impacted our previously timber-driven community?
Facebook will discuss company and community impact updates, data center workforce composition, and sustainability initiatives at their flagship campus in Prineville, as well as across the nation.
STACK Infrastructure will focus on how the industry has evolved in Oregon and the PNW, the obstacles and overall process of the site search, and where digital connectivity is headed in the future.
