Governor Cuomo Announces Grand Opening of Yahoo's New State-of-the-Art Center in Lockport
Expansion Will Bring More Than 100 New Jobs to the Area
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced that Yahoo has opened its new customer care center, which was part of the second phase of its East Coast data center expansion in the Town of Lockport. The project will result in 115 new, well-paying jobs and a capital investment of $170 million by Yahoo, which is the world’s largest network of integrated internet services with more than half a billion users worldwide.
“The expansion of Yahoo's operations here in Lockport is even more proof that Western New York is on the move," Governor Cuomo said. "Bringing 115 new jobs and more than $150 million in capital investment complements the region's dedicated workforce, world-class universities, and low-cost hydropower. I welcome Yahoo to their newer, bigger home."
