• Yorkville Village Board to discuss pre-application for data center (factpatrol.com) — Microsoft previously eyed Caledonia for a Racine County data center, but backed away after resident opposition, and a new, unidentified company is now pursuing a backup data center in nearby Yorkville. Local readers should watch this closely, as large data projects continue to cluster just outside Caledonia, potentially affecting traffic, jobs, and regional infrastructure decisions.
