概要

 Wisconsin is experiencing significant momentum across multiple fronts as the state navigates economic growth, political reforms, and community development initiatives.

On the economic front, Wisconsin companies are capitalizing on the artificial intelligence boom despite no hyperscale data centers yet operating in the state. Wisconsin Watch reports that three major companies have already amassed over one billion dollars in data center-related business. Regal Rexnord, a Milwaukee motor manufacturer, received 735 million dollars in orders from data centers in February. Generac, based in Waukesha, maintains a 400 million dollar backlog for backup generators serving data centers and is acquiring an Illinois engineering firm to meet demand. Racine-based Modine announced 180 million dollars in orders for cooling systems. The economic ripple effects are reaching smaller businesses as well, with Modular Power & Data expecting to more than double its ten million dollars in data center business from 2025.

In other economic news, the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation announced support for Carl Buddig and Company's 125 million dollar expansion project at its Sheboygan facility. The project will create 75 new jobs and expand production capacity for meat snacks.

Politically, Governor Tony Evers signed Executive Order 285, calling the state legislature into special session on April 14 to address partisan gerrymandering. The governor enacted fair legislative maps two years ago, marking the first time in over fifty years that Wisconsin implemented maps through the legislative process rather than courts. However, Evers argues that a constitutional amendment is necessary to prevent future gerrymandering when maps are redrawn after the 2030 census.

In education, Whitefish Bay School District voters will decide on April 7 whether to approve a 135 million dollar referendum for school improvements. The funding would support construction of a new middle school and facility upgrades across the district. Meanwhile, Wisconsin is launching its first fully state-funded child care program in the 2026-27 school year, with the state budget allocating 65 million dollars. The program will serve approximately 24,000 children through 1,400 providers statewide.

Sports betting continues generating debate as the sports betting alliance raises concerns about a potential tribal-only model. The coalition representing major platforms like DraftKings and FanDuel argues that transparency and legislative oversight are essential for establishing a competitive marketplace.

Looking ahead, listeners should watch for the April 7 school referendum outcome in Whitefish Bay and the April 14 special legislative session on gerrymandering. The continued development of Wisconsin's data center supply chain and the implementation of the new child care program will also merit close attention.
