Microsoft cancels Wisconsin data center after community pushback — 244-acre Caledonia site on hold, but Redmond says it remains committed to the region

Microsoft data center.

Microsoft has cancelled its initial plan of building a data center in Caledonia, Wisconsin, after residents and elected officials objected to the plan. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Redmond is cancelling its application for the current site, although it’s still looking at building one in a different location in Caledonia or in another part of Racine County.

“Based on the community feedback we heard, we have chosen not to move forward with this site,” Microsoft said to the publication. “We remain committed to investing in Southeast Wisconsin and look forward to working with the Village of Caledonia and Racine County leaders to identify a site that aligns with community priorities and our long-term development goals.”
