Apple's new North Carolina data center is expected to begin operations 'any day now', according to local officials.

Last week it was rumored that Apple may be doubling the size of its data center. Local realtor Bill Wagenseller, took to the air to investigate. "Though there has been no official announcement, I discovered that site work is being performed and it clearly appears that there may be some truth to the speculation,"

John Paczkowski from Digital Daily notes that photos posted to a Catawba County, N.C., Flickr page and labled "Apple_Maiden-07-06-2009-114" and "Apple_Maiden-07-06-2009-115" show architectural renderings of the Maiden, N.C., facility with one and two data center structures.

It's still not clear if the current building is 250,000 square-feet or 500,000 square-feet. If it's the former then the second structure would bring the total square footage to the announced 500,000 square-foot number. Otherwise, Apple may have decided to expand the facility to 1,000,00 square-feet.
