- Microsoft has withdrawn its proposal for a data center in Caledonia, Wisconsin, due to significant community opposition.
- More than 2,000 residents signed a petition against rezoning 244 acres of farmland for the project.
- Despite this, Microsoft remains interested in investing in Southeast Wisconsin and aims to find a site that aligns with community priorities.
- Local residents and officials expressed relief at the decision and hope for earlier community engagement in future proposals.
