TechIdaho: Oracle miss, others are losses Idaho can't afford
| April 11, 2008 |  View for printing |
If you read the news on Thursday, it was reported that Oracle, the California business software company, passed over the Treasure Valley for a proposed new data center that would have brought some much-needed high-paying jobs.
Regardless of the reason, it is unfortunate the company didn't choose this area to expand. It would have given a nice shot in the arm to what has become a depressing economic picture.
Oracle will likely build the data center in Salt Lake City. Oracle isn't talking, but the skeptic in me suspects that Oracle's decision to not build in the Treasure Valley probably had to do with what Utah can offer versus Idaho.
