Yahoo is strategically working to improve its business and stable its position. In this extension the company has purchased a building for Tender Heart Treasures in La Vista, Nebraska for $14.8 million. Yahoo will use this property as a major data center project that includes a three-story office area with a warehouse and will start its working most probably in the next year as Tender Heart Treasures will vacate the building and relocate in January.

The Boyd Company recently regards Omaha as one of the most affordable US cities (with annual operating expense of $12.9) to operate a data center and in order to compete with its neighbour New York City that costs double charges, Nebraska has been developing incentive programs to attract investors and companies. DataCenter Knowledge is reporting that Yahoo also applied for tax incentive under Nebraska Super Advantage program, which requires:

Nebraska Super Advantage program, which requires a minimum investment of $100 million and the creation of at least 50 high-salary jobs paying a minimum average salary of $68,700.

Yahoo should have selected Omaha because of its incentive programs and its corporate residents that includes eBay’s PayPal and HP unit in Omaha’s periphery city, La Vista. We all know that the past few months were not in the favour of Yahoo at all, the company was experiencing sudden execs exodus, its managerial block was facing major swifts and above all it experienced a low record ($17.75) stock closing few days ago. In order to stabilize its company and boost its efficiency, it recently hired Bain consultants to shave off few employees. Yahoo new data center in La Vista, Nebraska reveals that it is trying best to keep up with the current situation and re-gain a stable market place by enhancing its operations.
