Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer and the Arizona Commerce Authority announced the site selection today. The site selection is a huge coup for Brewer, the ACA and the East Valley.
Apple officials also issued a statement noting they are partnering with the Salt River Project to power the plant with solar and renewable sources.
“We are proud to expand our domestic manufacturing initiative with a new facility in Arizona, creating more than 2,000 jobs in engineering, manufacturing and construction,” the Apple statement reads. “This new plant will make components for Apple products and it will run on 100 percent renewable energy from day one, as a result of the work we are doing with SRP to create green energy sources to power the facility.”
Brewer's statement said the project would create 700 at the facility and 1,300 construction and other jobs.
The plant will be located at the Earmark development. That is Scottsdale-based DMB Associates redevelopment of the former GM Proving Ground in the East Valley.
