Microsoft announced it plans to invest another $4 billion in its datacenter in Mount Pleasant by the end of 2028.
The new investment comes after Microsoft announced last May it would be investing $3.3 billion by the end of 2026. The new investment, announced Thursday morning, will go toward building a new facility on the same site, previously owned by Foxconn, as part of Microsoft’s distributed training supercomputer for the company’s artificial intelligence services.
Microsoft Vice Chair and President Brad Smith in a statement touted the news as “a promise to grow responsibly, invest deeply, and create opportunities for Wisconsin and for the nation.”
