Facebook Data Center Is Boon For Oregon Town

Facebook Inc. is contemplating the expansion of a data-center project in Prineville, Ore., that already covers an area equivalent to five football fields, underlining the social-networking service's need to accommodate a rapidly growing number of users.

Meanwhile, Facebook is seeking to build bonds with the surrounding community. It's an effort that's had the company throwing a barbecue for locals, providing free dental care for area children and donating uniforms for high school sports teams.
