Since I don't know how to send cell phone text messages, and because I am not familiar with Twitter or its function, my big question is: If it is free, where is the money coming from to build this new data center?
Did Twitter get any GOED tax incentives? I haven't heard any reported. This is evidence that companies will move to Utah for the right reasons, not for tax bribes. This man said it himself:
"we find it tremendous news that Twitter recognized the strong business infrastructure, tech industry presence and availability of skilled technology work force that made Utah their ultimate choice."
Companies who recognize the good about Utah and are willing to come without corporate welfare are the companies we should want most in Utah.
