Facebook set to expand headquarters in Menlo Park
For the past week and a half Mark Zuckerberg has been losing face a bit in the stock market, but this week his company is moving ahead with plans for a major expansion to their headquarters in the Silicon Valley suburb of Menlo Park. On Tuesday, the Menlo Park city council voted unanimously to approve the expansion in exchange for $8.5 million dollars from the company.
For our mid-day extra, Mayor of Menlo Park, Kirsten Keith joined us to talk about the proposal, Facebook’s IPO, and her own Facebook account.
