Amid Rumors To The Contrary, Facebook Will Stay In Menlo Park
Facebook continues to negotiate with Menlo Park city officials for permission to expand, but would consider another property across the bay if things didn't work out.
Facebook barely finished moving into its new headquarters in Menlo Park and yet a handful of local publications have run articles this week about the social network’s real estate staff eyeing digs in another suburb.
The company’s demands for more local infrastructure than the original move-in involved has also inspired national media coverage of negotiations with Menlo Park city officials, but for now both sides have a long-term view of Facebook’s occupancy in the area.
Tucker Bounds, a Facebook spokesperson, commented:
It’s our hope that Menlo Park and East Palo Alto see the incredible economic benefits to having a good neighbor, like Facebook, join the community.
