MOUNT PLEASANT, WI – Microsoft plans to build a $1 billion data center on a 315- acre plot of land currently owned by Foxconn in Mount Pleasant, WI.  

If the $50 million purchase is approved by the Mount Pleasant Village Board, Microsoft has plans to begin phase one of construction no later than July 1, 2026, and phase two of the project no later than July 1, 2033. 

Mount Pleasant Village Board President Dave Degroot said he’s looking forward to Microsoft coming to the village.

"The potential benefits for the village can not be overstated," he told Spectrum News 1. "Not only is this great for the village financially, but the fit in TID 5, which is set up a technology hub for the mid-west, could not be more perfect. Having a corporate resident such as Microsoft within TID 5 will only serve as a magnet to attract additional high-level growth to Mount Pleasant."
