Corporations don't move to areas to "improve the quality of life" they move to save money. Its all about success, of the corporation, not you.
Loudon isn't even close to being in the top 10 data centers in the US btw. To give you a scale, Microsoft's datacenter in Washington is 1/4 the size of EVERYTHING in Loudon. And they aren't even the biggest single DC. Also VZ hq has been in VA forever now.
Also, VZ, not a US company technically speaking, I'll let you sort that one out.  |
What a novel concept people start companies to make money. If their location is impeding their ability to profit they relocate? Amazing the one thing you also left out was corporate incentive to relocate. I would also imagine the lower wages paid fall in line with a lower cost of living. Far be it for me to say but if I were able to live comfortably on 30,000 net a year in an area where it cost me less to do so I might be satisfied with how things were? It would almost be like the dollar actually still had value.
