The Boldt Company aims to play an active role in data center development in Wisconsin as the state attracts attention from developers and more of these projects arise.
Dale Lewis, the Appleton-based company’s recently appointed director of data centers, yesterday discussed the path ahead for Boldt’s new division focused on this sector. He previously worked for Microsoft as the tech company’s director of construction for its campus in Mount Pleasant.
“It’s an emerging market sector that’s very hot right now, volatile in its growth,” he said yesterday. “There’s a lot of cash being injected into this market sector on a global scale, and Wisconsin is starting to gain the attention of data center developers, and is rapidly becoming a hotter market.”
