据美国当地媒体 Milwaukee Business Journal 报道，微软于12月21日以7600万美元（约合5.43亿元人民币）的价格从威斯康星州的当地家族手中购买了407英亩（约合1647070平方米）的土地，该土地包括名为 Land of the Giants 的南瓜园景点以及占地9英亩（约合3.65公顷）的玉米迷宫。此外，该土地毗邻微软此前花费9970万美元（约合7.12亿元人民币）购置的另一块641英亩的土地。
据悉，这片土地原计划被当地政府收购，用于与富士康合作建设新工厂，但该家族拒绝了这一提议。评估员 Dan McHugh 表示，这片土地在2023年年初的价格为17.42万美元（约合124.4万元人民币），然而改进后上涨至59.84万美元（约合427.3万元人民币）。
微软计划在该土地上建设一个数据中心园区，投资超过10亿美元，初期规划招聘200名员工，后续还会增加460名。

Microsoft has acquired a 407-acre南瓜农场 in Wisconsin for US$760 million. The Land of the Giants attraction and a 9-acre corn maze are included in the deal, which also involves Microsoft’s previous purchase of a 641-acre plot for US$997 million. The property was originally intended to be acquired by the local government for a new factory project, but the family owns the land refused the proposal. According to assessor Dan McHugh, the property was valued at US$17.42 million in early 2023 but has since risen to US$59.84 million. Microsoft plans to build a data center park on the property, investing more than US$1 billion and initially hiring 200 employees. The company may later increase the number to 460 employees.
