Facebook announced Dec. 12 that it will build two additional data centers on its Prineville, Ore. Campus. So far, the tach giant has spent more than $1 billion at this location for the construction of three enormous facilities in addition to another “cold storage” building totaling 1.2 million sq. ft., Oregon Live reported.

According to the city of Prineville, Facebook recently signed an agreement for property tax exemptions for the new buildings. The company has benefitted from similar agreements in the past, which have totaled savings of more than $70 million.

Building the 970,000-sq.-ft facilities will mean jobs for hundreds of construction workers.
