On Thursday, Tim Cook, CEO of apple made a statement saying that apple plans on building a $1.3 million-dollar faculty in Waukee, Iowa. It has been believed that this will open 50 permanent jobs and the building itself will only run on renewable energy. The tax incentives for the projects has been approved for around $208 million dollars. In most cases, it's very popular to see the states offering money to business, like apple to lock in huge investments. Apple has hopes of starting to start building early in 2018 and the project is expected to be done in the year 2020.
Do you feel putting up an apple facility will be a good result or bad result for Iowa? Explain.
If you were to work at apple what job would you like to do there? Explain.
Personal Opinions:
I think it will be a great thing for Iowa it will open up a better world for technology and I think that technology is the future so it's a great thing to me.
I would like to help people with technical problems because when I can't figure something I go to the store and they are super nice and helpful there.

Good job Alana!
1) Personally from a business stand point, I think it would be a great way that our state could get its name out there, a good way to bring more money in, and it would give more people in Iowa more jobs. So more jobs means less unemployment which is a great thing for our economy. Also, it could help farmers get more technical or even advance their machinery.
2) If I were to work at Apple I would like to be higher up in the business because it means more money, but also you know when something is wrong with a product so you could help people, also you can go around telling people how Apple is a great product and how it can change their lives.
I think putting up an apple facility would be great. It would provide more jobs in technology in Iowa. If I worked at Apple, I would like to be a part of advertising. I can run my own phone, but I'm not so sure that I could fix other people's phones.
Well Im glad you think coding would be fun I dont think Id be good at that job.
I like how your thinking I to think this will create lots of jobs and I think selling apple products to people seems like a fun job
1. This is a good thing for Iowa, since it's opening up new job opportunities for graduates and with technology becoming our future, it'll be something that young adults will be interested in doing.
2. I would like to help develop the products like the phones and tablets. It's something I would enjoy doing and it will be helpful to know how to work with technology like that so I can help people with their phones if they have a problem.
I think this will be good for Iowa. It will open up some more technology and computer jobs for people who would like to take that occupation. If I worked at Apple I would like to be a sales person because it would be fun to interact with different people.
A lot of people think they would want to be a sales person seems like a good job and not to difficult
I think this will be a great this for the town of Waukee, it will bring in more tax dollars every year for the city and will also bring more families. I would probably be a salesman because I like to deal with apple devices.
I think it'll be a neat thing ;however, it's so far away from us
