Plymouth - Secure-24 cuts ribbon at new tech center in Plymouth
metromode, 8/27/2009
The ribbon is cut and the servers are humming at Secure-24's new data center in Plymouth.
The new 18,000-square-foot facility will house operations for both the Southfield-based information security provider and Wayne County. The new tech center will create 250 new jobs, according to Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano.
"It's a new direction for Wayne County," Ficano says. "It's something that sends a signal that we want you to come and invest in the area."
The $3.7 million facility was created as part of a public-private partnership.
Secure-24
was able to build the facility, along with another 20,000-square-foot tech center in Southfield, thanks to a $7.1 million state tax credit over 10 years.
The idea is to consolidate IT projects between Secure-24 and Wayne County in a state-of-the-art and secure space. Organizers behind the project hope it will also attract more IT firms to the area.
