Wyoming Governor Matt Mead announced that Microsoft will build a data center near Cheyenne. The $112 million data center will bring high-paying, technology jobs to the state.
“I believe Wyoming is positioned to be a leader in the technology sector and data centers will be a catalyst for growth,” Governor Mead said. He first announced his goal of recruiting data centers when he started campaigning for governor. “Wyoming is a perfect fit for data centers. We have abundant, affordable energy. Our naturally cool climate decreases costs for data centers and we have redundant fiber optics. Microsoft’s decision recognizes that Wyoming is a hand and glove fit as a leading site for data centers and technology-related companies. I congratulate Microsoft. Welcome to Wyoming.”
