Rep. Nesbit remarked: "For so many years, Iron Mountain has been a great addition to Butler County, not only providing jobs to local residents but being a good neighbor, and we are happy the company has further invested in its location here."
The new 11,600 square-foot facility, located outside the company's premier campus in Boyers, Penn. – nicknamed "The Underground" – enhances the location's physical security capabilities, as well as the security of customers' shipments to the campus – such as servers and other hardware.
