Microsoft Corp. could potentially build a $1 billion data center campus near Foxconn in Mount Pleasant, according to our partners at the Milwaukee Business Journal.

The data center could be built on 315 acres that the village originally assembled for Foxconn Technology Corp., Sean Ryan with the BizJournal reports.

Economic development officials began searching nationally for someone to develop on the land after Foxconn did not use the full 2,500 acres the village assembled for the company.

“Microsoft was attracted to this location because it is primed for development,” Mount Pleasant village president David DeGroot said. “Through local investments, we have transformed this area of Mount Pleasant and equipped it with the infrastructure necessary to support a major investment by Microsoft.”
