State officials are working with Internet giant Yahoo! to establish a data center in Western New York.

The center would house computer systems and other equipment. State officials say it wouldn’t result in many jobs, but the symbolism of luring the big-name company could help with other economic development efforts.

The Sunnyvale, Calif., firm recently announced plans for a 150,000-square-foot data center with 50 jobs in Nebraska. The center would cost $100 million.
