Microsoft mendapat kehormatan untuk menerima penghargaan Quincy Valley Business of the Year

Pusat data Microsoft di pedesaan Quincy, Washington telah beroperasi selama lebih dari sepuluh tahun. Selama waktu ini, Microsoft telah bekerja secara kolaboratif dengan kota dan pemangku kepentingan lokal lainnya untuk memperkaya masyarakat melalui berbagai proyek, termasuk memulihkan habitat berang-berang, membuka pusat penggunaan kembali air industri pertama di negara bagian itu, dan mendukung bank makanan seluler, dengan karyawan pusat data lokal secara sukarela meluangkan waktu mereka untuk upaya ini. Microsoft baru-baru ini diakui atas pekerjaannya, karena pusat datanya menerima penghargaan Business of the Year 2020 di Quincy.
After delays to the original ceremony due to COVID-19, on June 17
, 2021, the Quincy Valley Chamber of Commerce presented awards to those in the community who are making the biggest impacts. “The Quincy Valley Chamber of Commerce provides annual awards to honor those unsung heroes in our community – the teachers, the volunteers, the businesses, and the individuals who have worked so hard to make Quincy the amazing community it is today,” says Cari V. Mathews, Executive Director of the Quincy Valley Chamber of Commerce. “Microsoft is being presented this award for a business that has achieved excellence in all aspects of business management to include the use of best human resource practices, customer satisfaction and has garnered the respect of the Community by generously supporting community projects.” Microsoft Washington State TechSpark manager and community lead Lisa Karstetter says, “We are so pleased to be part of the Quincy community and are grateful to the citizens and leadership for their collaboration. We value their communication around community priorities and strive to use that input to shape future projects.”
