Michigan
Microsoft is working through the datacenter development process in West Michigan.
Aligned with Microsoft’s global commitments and our Datacenter Community Pledge, we have created the Community-First AI Infrastructure Initiative as a concrete step toward being a good neighbor where we build and operate.
- We’ll pay our way to ensure our datacenters don’t increase your electricity prices.
- We’ll minimize our water use and replenish more of your water than we use.
- We’ll create jobs for your residents.
- We’ll add to the tax base that funds your local first responders, schools, parks, and libraries.
- We’ll strengthen your community by investing in local AI training and nonprofits.
Our Datacenter Community Pledge
Contribute to a sustainable future
We will design and operate our datacenters to support Microsoft’s climate goals and become carbon negative, water positive, and zero waste before 2030.
Advance community prosperity and well-being
We will deliver significant local, economic, social, and environmental benefits.
Operate responsibly as a good neighbor
We will partner closely with communities and operate in a way that respects the local environment.
