"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

Gov. Matt Mead http://governor.wy.gov wants to up the ante in trying to entice technology jobs to Wyoming by proposing to double the money the state makes available to help build data centers and other digital facilities and broaden the types of firms eligible to tap the funds.

Mead said Thursday he wants Wyoming to be as "attractive as possible to these companies" to bring in jobs and new tax revenue.

Wyoming established a $15 million fund last year to help pay for infrastructure, such as water service, for new mega data centers after Verizon looked at locating a $4 billion data center near Laramie. The company decided against building one for now after it acquired a separate company that already had data centers, and the state fund remained unused.
