Default Re: What do you think about the Dell site?

I honestly think the call centre is just the tip of the iceberg. Why would you need some 60 acres for a call centre. Even if it employed 3000. That is just way too much space for that.

I think Dell may eventually expand and bring more to OKC than just a call centre (or customer service centre as they call it). With that much land, maybe they may bring mfg jobs as well, in the future (maybe even the near future)?

But I agree, it may be better if it is just a call centre, to send it downtown to the first national centre; after all, it has MORE than enough space for 3000 customer service reps and the cost of renovating the First National would be much cheaper and in the better interest of the city than allowing Dell to build at a prime site along the OK river.

Whatever the case, I can not wait until I come to OKC and drive from there to downtown and see the Dell logo on a multi-storey building at the I-40/I-44 junction! Will it be on the East side or the West side of I-44?

(I hope it will be on the East, so people will look toward downtown when they look at the Dell campus, and not away from downtown).
