How corroborated this project is, 0 to 100, built from primary evidence: permits, utility interconnection filings, procurement notices and hiring activity. Higher means more independent sources confirm it.
Microsoft AI-focused cloud campus on former Foxconn land in Racine County, expanded from an initial $3.3 billion commitment to a roughly $4.7 billion build through 2028. A January 2026 filing seeking 15 more buildings implies a much larger future footprint, though Microsoft has not attached a single confirmed dollar figure to that expansion. A cornerstone of the western edge of the Heartland corridor.
