While neither a construction timeline nor project team was announced, Wake County, N.C., said in a news release that Apple envisions the new campus to be “up and running as soon as possible with 3,000 jobs being created from 2023 until 2032.”

苹果还宣布,它将建立一项1亿美元的基金,以支持大罗利 - 杜勒姆地区和全州的学校和社区倡议,并计划以最需要的需求向北卡罗来纳州县捐款超过1.1亿美元的基础设施支出。资金专用于宽带,道路和桥梁以及公立学校。

“We are excited to welcome Apple to our thriving technology ecosystem,” said Michael Haley, executive director of Wake County Economic Development in a press release. “This is an important milestone that strengthens our position as a tech hub.”

苹果将会加入许多other tech companies in the region, including IBM, Red Hat, Lenovo, SAS, Bandwidth, Citrix and Epic Games. County development officials estimated the average annual salary for Apple’s East Coast campus workers at roughly $185,000.

研究三角基金会总裁兼首席执行官Scott Levitan补充说:“苹果公司决定加入研究三角公园的310家公司的社区。”“它对公共教育,可持续性,基础设施以及与我们的大学和社区大学的合作伙伴关系的主要承诺表明,第一天的公司领导能力。”

According to the tech company’s news release: “Apple’s new campus and engineering hub at RTP will accommodate the company’s growing research and development and engineering teams, among others. Like all Apple facilities, the new campus will run on 100% renewable energy from the first day the doors open.”

The technology giant also announced that it plans to simultaneously accelerate its spending and hiring plans across the U.S. Nationally, it says it will boost spending to $430 billion over the next five years and double hiring plans by an estimated 20,000 jobs.

苹果在新闻稿中表示,“有望实现其2018年的目标,即到2023年在美国创造20,000个新工作岗位。苹果的目标是在未来五年内在全国各州创造20,000个额外的就业机会。

Gov. Roy Cooper (R), stated that once the jobs are created, incentives will become available. Under an agreement recently approved by a state incentives panel, Apple stands to receive $846 million over the next 39 years if the company can meet “job-creation and investment thresholds,” he said. The payments are calculated based on state income tax withholdings.

The state estimates the project will generate nearly $2 billion in additional state revenue through 2061 and more than $1.5 billion a year in economic impact , according to the governor’s office.

苹果还在扩大其在科罗拉多州,马萨诸塞州,德克萨斯州,华盛顿,纽约,加利福尼亚州和其他州的劳动力。它还宣布了在印第安纳波利斯附近的1亿美元配送中心的计划,到2024年底,该中心可能会雇用近500个。
