FREDERICKSBURG, Va., August 12, 2008 – GEICO officially opened the doors today to its $28 million data center expansion and invited Stafford County and state officials and GEICO associates to view the nearly 17,000-square-foot facility.
The new data center now serves as the core of GEICO's voice and data operations, providing computer connections and services for GEICO's multitude of offices around the country.

The expansion to the original data center, constructed in 1996, was completed in six months by Holder Construction.
