What they have said
"Microsoft’s investment puts Wisconsin on the very cutting edge of AI power, not just in the U.S., but throughout the world, while creating good, family-supporting jobs, growing our communities..."
I'm committed to making AI data centers pay their own way and protecting hardworking Wisconsinites from paying a penny of Big Tech's data center energy bills.
As governor, I will let communities decide for themselves whether they want a data center at all, and if they say no, that decision would be honored.4
Bottom line: Data centers will pay their own way, and communities have the ultimate say.5

Questions
How many jobs does a data center create?
It varies a lot by site and construction crews are much larger than the permanent staff that runs a site. We only show figures linked to a primary public source. A blank means we have not linked a source yet, not zero. Source
What trades build data centers?
Electricians do the largest share of the work, followed by pipefitters and HVAC mechanics for cooling, ironworkers, equipment operators, laborers and low voltage and controls technicians. Running sites hire data center technicians, facilities staff and security. Source
How do I find a data center job near me?
Use the Find jobs here links on this page. They go straight to each company's own careers site, the local union hall and the U.S. Department of Labor apprenticeship finder. We link out and do not host listings. Source
