Tech blogs Data Center Knowledge and MacNN are reporting that Apple has chosen the Catawba County town of Maiden as the site for its new billion-dollar data center.
From MacNN:
"Though the company confirmed intentions for an iDataCenter on June 3rd, with plans to invest $1 billion in the state over the course of nine years, it has not so far announced a specific location. Representatives for the town of Maiden, however, have scheduled a July 6th press conference, in which they are expected to formally acknowledge a deal with Apple."
The rest of the MacNN post is here, and the related Data Center Knowledge post is here.
I've got a call in to Maiden Mayor Bob Smyre for confirmation. I'll let you know here if and when I hear back.
UPDATE: Credit where it's due: The "local media" item these posts reference is John Dayberry's story at the Hickory Daily Record. Read it here.
