Microsoft has acquired more land in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin.

Wisconsin Public Radio and Milwaukee Journal Sentinal report the company has acquired a further 70.9 acres of mostly vacant farm land at 12734 Louis Sorenson Road, in Mount Pleasant.

The company acquired the land from the Thomas A. Hribar Sr. Revocable Trust for $12.75 million.

Microsoft broke ground on the first plot of land in Mount Pleasant last year. It originally planned to develop 315 acres on land previously set aside for a Foxconn manufacturing hub.

The cloud company then gained approval for another 1,00 acre expansion earlier this year amid further land acquisitions, and acquired another 205 acres last month.

The additional tracts will "support data center construction already underway in the area," said Bowen Wallace, Microsoft vice president of data centers/Americas, in a statement to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Microsoft has said it plans to invest more than $3 billion in the Racine County development.
