Did you read about AOL's new tech center.......Think they need a SAN? AOL to build $520 million tech center By Bloomberg News Special to CNET News.com March 10, 1999, 2:40 p.m. PT DULLES, Virginia--America Online will build a $520 million technology center in Prince William County, Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore said. AOL, with more than 16 million subscribers worldwide, also plans to spend $80 million for two new buildings at its headquarters in Dulles, Virginia. The 220,000-square-foot technology center, near Manassas, Virginia, will create 175 new jobs, the company said. AOL received $1 million in state and county grants to prepare the 25-acre site for the new building, which will mainly house computer systems to support Internet traffic. "The expansion further cements Virginia's role as the Internet capital of the world," Virginia Secretary of Commerce Don Upson said. AOL shares rose 2.69 to close at 92.81 today. Gilmore and AOL president Robert Pittman were appointed by Congress to sit on a panel looking at how and whether to tax Internet commerce. AOL CEO Steve Case serves on Gilmore's Commission on Information Technology, which helps set the state's agenda on Internet issues, including a tough policy to crack down on junk email. news.com
