Microsoft is the new owner of hundreds of acres in Racine County that were supposed to go to Foxconn.
The county board on Tuesday voted 18-1 to sell Microsoft 315 acres of land in Mount Pleasant for 50 million-dollars. Microsoft is looking to build a data center on the land, and the agreement calls for construction to begin by the summer of 2026, with a second phase to begin no later than the summer of 2033.
