Summary

Planned six-building Microsoft datacenter campus along International Drive in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, on about 530 acres Microsoft says it bought in 2024. Village planning documents reported by WPR describe more than 3.5 million sq ft of development, including a 74,000 sq ft office and other buildings, with an estimated taxable value of more than USD 5.3 billion. The plan commission recommended the site plan with conditions including a traffic impact analysis and water-use compliance, and the village board approved it unanimously in January 2026. Microsoft called the plans preliminary and gave no construction timeline or energy estimate.
