Wal-Mart's planned data center on 24 acres southeast of InterQuest and Voyager Pkwys will bring jobs and a major capital investment to the Pikes Peak region. Construction is scheduled to begin in October and is expected to be completed in late 2012. According to city officials the facility will cost about $100 million to build. Wal-Mart is expected to invest another 50 to 100 million in machinery and equipment over the initial 15 year life of the facility. The project will have an economic impact of $488 million over its first 15 years in terms of wages, building materials, equipment purchases and property txes.

The center will employ 30 people with salaries of $30,000 to $70,000.
