Microsoft Investing $3.3 Billion to Build Artificial Intelligence Data Center in Wisconsin

Microsoft is investing $3.3 billion to build a new artificial intelligence (AI) data center in the city of Racine, Wisconsin, according to the White House.

The tech giant plans to build the new AI center on the same land as the failed $10 billion investment from Taiwanese electronics manufacturer Foxconn six years prior, the Biden administration said in a statement.

According to the White House, the multi-billion dollar investment by the Bill Gates-founded company will create 2,300 union construction jobs and 2,000 permanent jobs, all of which will be well-paying and will include “growth pathways” and comprehensive benefits such as paid family leave.

Microsoft is also committed to providing “skilling opportunities for thousands more Wisconsinites in the digital economy,” and will pair its data center investment with a commitment to investing in innovation and workforce in Racine and statewide, the statement said.
