Last summer, Apple confirmed a four-year delay for its anticipated campus in Research Triangle Park. Originally part of a $1 billion investment announced in 2021, the RTP campus was set to bring 3,000 jobs to the area. However, the tech giant is moving forward with investments in parts of NC, particularly in Catawba County, where it continues expanding its data center operations.
Construction has yet to begin, and no start date has been provided. Since 2021, Apple has hired nearly 600 people in Raleigh, but the delay poses risks to the company’s eligibility for state incentives tied to job creation and investment milestones. The delay may also affect Apple’s $100 million pledge for local education and $110 million for infrastructure across the state.
