San Francisco: Apple’s plan to build a shimmering flying-saucer shaped headquarters got final clearance for take-off, after a tax break granted the technology titan was trimmed.

Officials in the Silicon Valley city of Cupertino, which has long been home to the culture-changing technology titan, put a stamp of approval on a grand vision put in motion years ago by late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.

The vote late on November 19 was a procedural formality and essentially a rubber stamping of a unanimous endorsement for the project by members of the Cupertino city council last month.

Final approval of Apple’s new campus came with an agreement to trim by 15 per cent a tax break awarded to the company in 1997 when the future of the then-struggling company was uncertain.

In documents filed with the city, “Apple Campus 2” is described as a 21st Century creation designed for research, collaboration, and innovation.
