Microsoft will invest $3.3 billion to create an AI datacenter in Racine County, Wisconsin. The new datacenter will be on the same site where Foxconn was supposed to drive $10 billion of investment into the area, though that plan was scaled back drastically.

As a Wisconsinite who was against the Foxconn plan from the start, it is great to see that there is something actually happening on this site. I'm glad that Microsoft is the company coming there, and will definitely be following this story as it relates to the technology, community, jobs, and economy.

Yeah, I'm a Wisconsinite (now in IN) with family in WI too. As soon as that whole Foxconn plan was announced I told everyone it was going to not only fail, but the company was NEVER going to follow through with the whole contract and would try and squeeze their way out of a lot of it (which they did). I hated the deal with a passion (it's a horrible horrible company) and it was a financial mess by the Governor. I'm super happy Microsoft is stepping in on this one! This is definitely a win for WI. I do hope the state didn't give away 40 years of tax revenue to get the deal - but should be some great jobs.

Google just announce a similar facility where I'm at in IN with a 2.3 Billion dollar data center breaking ground. Seems the Midwest is getting the tech expansion!

It does seem like the Midwest is getting the tech expansion! Here in Ohio, Intel is building a plant just north of Columbus!
