Apple announced plans on Monday to invest more than $1 billion in North Carolina to build the companyâs first East Coast campus, a move expected to bring at least 3,000 new jobs to the state.
The development comes as part of an effort by Apple to up investment as the U.S. begins rebuilding from the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a statement from the company.
The North Carolina project falls under a commitment to invest $430 billion and add a total of 20,000 new jobs over the next five years, expanding teams in Colorado, Massachusetts, Texas, Washington, New York, California and other states, officials said.
