President Joe Biden appeared in Racine, Wisconsin, to share the news that Microsoft is investing $3.3 billion to build a new artificial intelligence (AI) data center in Racine on the same land that was cleared for a Foxconn manufacturing facility six years ago.
The new facility, according to the White House, will create 2,300 union construction jobs, as well as 2,000 well-paying permanent jobs that will feature comprehensive benefits such as paid family leave and “growth pathways.”
