Microsoft pulls plug on plans for 244-acre data center in Caledonia (2025)

Microsoft has canceled its planned 244-acre data center project in Caledonia, Wisconsin, following significant community pushback, including a petition signed by over 2,000 local residents opposing the rezoning required for the development. The tech company remains interested in investing in Southeast Wisconsin and intends to work with local government leaders to identify an alternative site that aligns with both community priorities and its long-term development goals.
