I n past few days, these announcements h/b made: Oracle HQ to Austin, HPE HQ to Spring, Musk to Austin:
............. Earlier this month, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co., part of one of Silicon Valley’s founding companies, said it is relocating its global headquarters to suburban Houston from San Jose. The company is building a “state-of-the-art” campus in spring to accommodate the 2,600 workers it has in the Houston area. HPE also has operations in Plano and Austin.
“HPE’s largest U.S. employment hub, Houston, is an attractive market to recruit and retain future diverse talent,” the company said.
And in July, Musk picked Austin as the site for Tesla’s largest U.S. assembly plant — a $1.1 billion investment that’ll employ at least 5,000 workers.
It’ll be one of Texas’ largest job-creating projects in the last decade. Toyota invested $1 billion when it moved its North American headquarters and about 4,000 jobs from California to Plano in 2017.
