flag Wisconsin voters will decide in April whether large tax incentives for developments like data centers need approval.

flag A Wisconsin judge has allowed a Port Washington referendum to proceed on whether future tax incentives for large developments, including data centers, require voter approval. flag The April 7 vote stems from a proposal backed by residents opposing a $15 billion AI data center project, which would require public approval for tax increment financing (TID) districts over $10 million. flag Business groups, including MMAC, argued the measure was vague and could hinder development, but Judge Adam Gerol ruled courts cannot block elections or rule on unenacted laws. flag He emphasized residents’ right to direct legislation and allowed the advocacy group Great Lakes Neighbors United to intervene, calling its initial exclusion a procedural error. flag The referendum’s legality will only be reviewed if it passes.
