The company plans to create a data center campus.
“This is an exciting next step in the process of welcoming Microsoft’s new data center development to Racine County,” said Racine County Executive Jonathan Delagrave. “This project offers an incredible growth opportunity for our community.”

“We are proud to move forward with this highly anticipated development,” said Village of Mount Pleasant President David DeGroot. “The purchase of this land, which has been transformed in recent years, is a win for taxpayers and residents alike.”
Microsoft will develop a $1 billion, 315-acre data center campus. Pending approvals, site readiness work could start later this year
