HTN: Yahoo Picks Town of Lockport

Yahoo! has chosen the Town of Lockport for the site of its East Coast Data center. Officials say the site will employ 125 people. The Internet giant will present a site proposal to the Town Planning Board next week, and a public hearing is scheduled for June 30th. Yahoo! has applied for a property tax break for the proposed 190-thousand-square-foot computer service center. The facility will take an estimated 13 months to complete. Yahoo! hopes to break ground in August.
