Voters chime in as Biden announces expansion of Microsoft data center in Racine [Video]

RACINE COUNTY, Wisc. — President Biden is making his fourth trip to Wisconsin this year, with a visit to Racine today.

He is traveling to the same location as the Foxconn investment that the Trump administration visited six years ago.

During his visit, the president is expected to announce a $3.3 billion investment by Microsoft to construct a new artificial intelligence data center in Mount Pleasant.

The data center was approved back in 2023.

The data center is projected to generate 2,300 union construction jobs and 2,000 permanent positions over time, according to a press release from the White House.

The data center will be built on the same land as the $10 billion investment from Taiwanese electronics manufacturer Foxconn six years ago.

Microsoft, according to the press release, will also offer training opportunities for thousands more Wisconsinites.
