概要

 Wisconsin enters March with a mix of economic momentum and political maneuvering. Governor Tony Evers signed Executive Order 285, calling the state Legislature into a special session on April 14 to pass a constitutional amendment banning partisan gerrymandering, building on fair maps enacted two years ago that ended a decade of extreme bias, according to the governors office. Evers also approved six bipartisan bills, including Assembly Bill 677, which extends statutes of limitations for second-degree sexual assault prosecutions and allows tenants to break leases after sexual assault threats, now 2025 Wisconsin Act 88.

In business news, data centers are driving at least one billion dollars in growth for Wisconsin firms, even as no hyperscale facilities operate here yet. Milwaukee-based Regal Rexnord secured 735 million dollars in motor orders, Waukeshas Generac holds a 400 million dollar backlog for generators and is acquiring an Illinois firm, while Racin-based Modine landed 180 million dollars for cooling systems and opened a massive Milwaukee-area plant, Wisconsin Watch reports. Smaller outfits like Modular Power & Data expect to double 2025s 10 million dollars in data center sales. Yet opposition grows over land, water, and power strains, with over 24,000 Facebook members fighting proposed centers.

Construction remains robust despite interest rate and policy clouds. Major projects advance, including Microsofts Mount Pleasant data center, Interstate 94 reconstruction in Milwaukee, and Enbridges Line 5 pipeline reroute, per the Daily Reporter. Recent big bids went to firms like Rock Road Companies for five million dollars in Dane County highway work and PTS Contractors for nearly five million in Green Bay extensions.

Community efforts shine too, with a two million dollar donation expanding Waukesha County Technical Colleges AI lab, and sports fans celebrating the Wisconsin Badgers mens basketball teams dominant wins over Maryland and Purdue.

No major weather events disrupted the state recently.

Looking Ahead: Watch the April 14 special session on gerrymandering, Microsoft data center progress, Big Ten Tournament action for the Badgers, and construction amid economic uncertainties.
