Apple has announced plans to build a $2 billion global command center in Mesa, Arizona, according to a new report from CNBC.
The initiative is part of a plan to repurpose the GT Advanced manufacturing facility after the sapphire supplier filed for bankruptcy last fall.
Approximately 150 full-time Apple staff will be employed at the new facility, along with 300 to 500 construction trade jobs, according to Arizona Governor Doug Ducey.
