PHARRELL WILLIAMS REACHES BACK: Artist is has plans for community center.
*The artist/writer/super producer Pharell Williams is going back to the community and bringing gifts.
The Star Trak executive is in talks to build a computer resource center in his hometown, Virginia Beach, VA. The economic development director for Virginia Beach, Don Maxwell, told The Virginian Pilot that the demographics, cost, and size of the project are still being figured out. But, Virginia Beach’s City Council may get to review the deal as early as next month.
In addition, Williams is also negotiating with Apple and Microsoft to support the center and will utilize a local architect to design the building.
"One of these kids could be the next chemist for Pfizer," Williams said referring to the health care giant Pfizer Inc. HP has started a campaign entitled the “Computer is Personal Again” and Williams has agreed to appear in the new spot.
The campaign debuted with rapper/mogul/Def Jam president Jay-Z and has featured Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, U.S. Olympic, snowboarding gold medalist Shaun White and television executive Mark Burnett (The Apprentice, The Apprentice: Martha Stewart, On the Lot).
All three spots will be available online prior to hitting major television networks.
We can also prepare for Williams highly anticipated solo release “In My Mind” to drop July 25.
