Software giant Microsoft and the municipality of Vihti have signed a land deal for the site of a future data centre.
Representatives from Microsoft and the municipality of Vihti signed the deal worth around 12.3 million euros on 15 June, the municipality said in a press release.
"The Microsoft data centre is the largest investment in Vihti's 500-year history and we are extremely happy to welcome Microsoft to Vihti," Vihti's mayor Erkki Eerola said.
The planned data centre in Vihti's Rosti Business Park is part of Microsoft's data centre area concept. When completed, it will consist of three separate and independently operating data centres that are synchronised with each other.
Two other data centres are planned for Espoo and Kirkkonummi.
