A data center planned for Racine County will have to find a new site after community member feedback forced Microsoft to reconsider the site.

According to a Wisconsin Public Radio report, many in the village of Caledonia were strongly opposed to Microsoft building a data center on 240 acres in the community. 

Microsoft is looking for a different site in Southeast Wisconsin for its data center. 

As In Business Madison recently reported, data centers have sparked heated debate throughout Wisconsin.
