Facebook and Apple have help the data center industry grow in the Prineville area, but they have also helped the city's bottom line.
The head of Economic Development for Crook County, Jason Carr says "The overall improvement in frastructure, the creation of full time jos and the construction jobs have really propped up this community in a way that wouldn't have seen if it hadn't been for the data centers."
Carr says Prineville's city budget is actually in pretty good shape thanks to the increased revenues from these data centers.
