Facebook expects formal conversations with local government officials and community organizations to last about two years. Construction will occur in phases with Phase 1 to include a grocery store, retail, housing and office with an expected completion of 2021. Following phases will each take two years to complete. The new campus, as depicted in the above video, will be designed by OMA New York.

Facebook also plans to invest tens of millions of dollars to improve the nearby US 101.
