Microsoft is building a new 900-acre data center in Granger, Indiana. Construction is expected to begin in late April or early May. The project will involve 6 data center buildings, each employing around 50 people for a total of 300 jobs. Microsoft will pay full property taxes and cover all infrastructure upgrades, including widening a road. The data center will use Mishawaka city water and not draw from the local aquifer.
