Why Iowa is giving Apple $208 million for a project that will create 50 full-time jobs.

In exchange for state and local taxes, for $ 208 million, the technology major has agreed to build two new information centers on 2,000 acres of IHS - a project that will only create 50 permanent jobs

Although this is not an agreement about employees, though. At least not directly.

Wiki's economic development director Dan Dutter said that the amount of money from Apple is very important for public utilities such as street updates and parks. The city hopes to give $ 2 million a year to property taxes.

"We are a fast growing community," said Duetter who lives here for 24 years. "Our capital is growing by increasing many roads and infrastructure, tax revenue will help us to grow."

The construction is expected to be started this spring in Waukee, and the city officials hope to make hundreds of process work will be spark. But the buildings that will be opened by 2020 will have more computer servers than humans.

Anna Bergman, a municipal council member in the area, is not concerned about it.

He said, "Verily, this is the only way to continue to work on a city like us", he said on Thursday, Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook was supposed to visit Wawki City City a few days ago. "Our infrastructure needs to be updated and expanded."

"With a billion plus investment, it will create many spinoffs and construction related work".

In the last 20 months, state and local officials worked with the company to find a place for new benefits. Information centers, which will run from the state to the air, will support North American customers, such as iMessage and Siri using the iPhone function.

Due to the absence of hurricanes, earthquakes and rolling blackouts, Iowa occupies a major position for the computer.

Iowa Gove Kim Reynolds (R) said in a statement, "Ivy is a clear vote of Apple's significant investment and commitment to the confidence of our state," "This announcement strengthens Iowa as a hub where inventions and technologies are expanding and it shows that this is a place where world-class organizations can succeed."
