Fairfax County is welcoming the latest arrival to its tech corridor. Google has opened a new office in Reston where it will offer services to 10 different cabinet agencies of the federal government. The office is brightly colored and environmentally friendly, like all Google offices, and has exercise balls and patio furniture mingled with sleek computer terminals and glass conference rooms.
The new branch will bring a modest 30 jobs to Fairfax County, which has lost several thousand jobs in the past year. Officials say Google's name will build Reston's reputation and attract many more businesses in the future.
