Microsoft Adds $4B to Racine County Data Center Campus Investment
- On September 18, 2025, Microsoft revealed plans to invest $4 billion to develop a second AI facility on its campus located in the city of Mount Pleasant, within the state of Wisconsin.
- This expansion follows Microsoft’s initial $3.3 billion project started in 2024, aiming to complete the second center by the end of 2028 amid environmental scrutiny.
- The Mount Pleasant sites will host hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GPUs, employ about 800 full-time workers across both centers, and support training programs like Wisconsin's first Datacenter Academy.
- Microsoft Vice Chair Brad Smith described the new facility as more than just an engineering achievement, while Gov. Tony Evers emphasized that the company's funding places Wisconsin among the leading regions advancing AI technology.
- The projects are expected to create thousands of construction jobs, increase regional economic growth, and face environmental group challenges over electricity and water use.
