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.
likwid, nebe, bry,

I cant tell you how uninformed you are
Dirt cheap labor Likwid? 4 of the counties in TX on the list are near my town. Median incomes are in all these areas exceed 100K PER HOUSEHOLD. Most are 140K and above. You cant touch houses in some of these places for under a million. And guess what? Theres no oil here or energy. Its all healthcare, IT and financial services. Every day I see maseratis, bentleys and lamborghinis driving around. Yeah, they're all dirt cheap labor.

new englanders heads are so far up there a$$ its not even funny. There is not one area in NE that is growing. The entire areas is declining.
Go ahead and jump all over me but I can post volumes of DATA that show the median incomes, industries, etc. I know its hard to believe when you're in the new england bubble, but the rest of the country is educated, skilled and motivated.

making s-b.com a kinder, gentler place for all
