FBI data center expanding in Idaho; will bring 300 jobs

Work would likely be finished by the spring of 2017 in turning the FBI Pocatello building into what Blad called “a major hub” for the federal agency.

“This is a great economic win for Pocatello,” Blad said.

Bannock Development Corp. Executive Director John Regetz told the Idaho State Journal that the $10 million for the project would bring an immediate boost to the local economy. He said the jobs would have an average wage of $60,000 annually.

The Pocatello FBI center provides communications and database support for FBI agents throughout the country. It opened in 1985. Idaho Business Review
