St. Joseph County public meeting recap

Microsoft is considering building a datacenter in St. Joseph County, Indiana.

Datacenters are part of everyday life

Datacenters provide the physical infrastructure for the technology we depend on at work and in our personal lives. Whenever you open an app on your phone, join a virtual classroom or meeting, snap and save photos, or play a game with your friends online, you are using a datacenter. Local businesses, government, hospitals, and schools rely on datacenters every day to deliver goods and services to you.
