In order to build and maintain the facility, 300 to 500 jobs will be opened up in order to erect the facility, and will employ more than 100 Apple employees thereafter.
In a statement, Apple proclaims that
"This multibillion-dollar project is one of the largest investments we've ever made, and when completed it will add over 600 engineering and construction jobs to the more than one million jobs Apple has already created in the U.S.”
Moreover, Arizona governor Doug Ducey states that
"This is a great day for Arizona, and we have moved rapidly to make this happen and take advantage of Apple's interest in our state… Apple is by far one of the most innovative and successful companies in the world. Its decision to bring this new facility to Mesa is a huge win for Arizona and a high testament to our business-friendly climate and talented workforce."
In pertinence to the energy options available in the Arizona desert, Apple has pledged to utilize renewable sources where possible, as part of their environmentally-friendly initiative.
