02/01/2025
“In Wisconsin, we’re continuing our work to harness AI, advance critical sectors like manufacturing, biohealth, and technology, and adapt to make sure our workforce, economy, and state can meet the demands of the 21st Century,” Said Governor Tony Evers. “We’re excited about Microsoft’s decision to continue investing in the southeastern part of our state, which I’m proud has been a key focus for our economic support, development, and growth efforts.”
Kenosha city officials unanimously passed ordinances to attach and rezone the privately-owned vacant land.
“We're delighted that Microsoft continues to expand its commitment to the Milwaukee region," noted Gale Klappa, co-chair of Milwaukee 7 and Chairman of the Board of WEC Energy Group. "This additional investment – announced today – speaks volumes about our region as a home for innovative companies and a dynamic hub for advancement in technology."
“We are thrilled to welcome Microsoft to Kenosha County and add one of the largest tech companies in the world to our roster of major international corporations,” added Nicole Ryf, Kenosha Area Business Alliance President. “Microsoft’s investment signals that the Chicago-Milwaukee corridor is gaining international attention for its strategic location, productive workforce, strong infrastructure, and pro-business climate, and Kenosha County is fortunate to be in the heart of it all.”
