Microsoft Adding New High Tech Hub In Syracuse

SYRACUSE, NY —One of the biggest companies in the world will be setting up shop in Syracuse.

Microsoft has received approval to set up a high tech hub in the city.

The exact location hasn't been decided yet, but Mayor Ben Walsh says the facility will help create new technology and will also train the workforce of the future.

Microsoft officials will be coming to Syracuse on Thursday to start planning the future of the hub.

Microsoft announced similar hubs earlier this year in Louisville, Kentucky and Houston, Texas.
