Apple is considering purchasing another 96 acres of land in Prineville, Oregon in hopes of expanding its data centers even further, The Oregonian reports. The assistant planning director for Crook County confirmed to the paper that a company code named 'Project Pillar' has expressed interest in buying the land -- and The Oregonian believe that 'Project Pillar' is indeed Apple:
The property awaiting transfer is covered by the same tax break agreement that Apple now operates under. And Stenbeck said Pillar previously went by the code name Maverick -- that's the name Apple used last year when it paid $5.6 million to buy 160 acres of Crook County land for its first Prineville data center.
