Proposed-site record

Kenosha Microsoft Data Center

High-priority Kenosha / Microsoft proposal on roughly 240 acres. This row appears to overlap the curated Kenosha Microsoft record; fields are aligned so the map does not contradict itself. NDA reporting is source-backed, while water and project-specific power records still need review.

This panel tracks what the facility is for without assuming that every project is AI training, inference, or cloud capacity.

Undisclosed / unknownUnknown

Kenosha County and the City of Kenosha announced Microsoft's purchase of approximately 240 acres and rezoning that paved the way for potential data-center development; BizTimes reports plans for four 250,000-square-foot buildings and a utility substation; WGTD reports the city was still waiting for Microsoft to submit site plans in June 2026. The reviewed sources do not identify facility-specific workloads or a training/inference split.

Microsoft is identified as the purchaser/development partner, not a proven workload customer or operator for a completed facility. The county release says rezoning enabled potential data-center development; WGTD's June 2026 report says site plans were still pending. Building area and the separate Mount Pleasant investment are development context, not workload capacity. Keep workload, hardware and allocation unknown.

Public Money

Source lead: dataset project_cost field reports $3.3 billion; WLIP reported the project does not include TIF or city subsidies and Microsoft is expected to fund its own infrastructure improvements. Primary city, utility, incentive, and development-agreement records still need review.

Water

Source reviewed September 9, 2026: the county land-sale announcement identifies Microsoft's approximately 240-acre Kenosha site but does not disclose a facility water source, cooling method, withdrawal, consumption, service, or wastewater quantity. Project-specific water and permit records remain unresolved.

Power

Source reviewed September 9, 2026: Kenosha County says the State, City, and County sold approximately 240 acres to Microsoft for potential data-center development and that city ordinances attached and rezoned the property. The reviewed county record does not publish a utility contract, requested or approved load, interconnection, generation, energized capacity, or data-center IT load.
