 Wisconsin listeners are watching a busy stretch of policy changes, economic moves, and community debates reshape the state as winter sets in.

According to WisPolitics, Governor Tony Evers has just acted on 34 bills touching everything from housing and mental health to local governance and sports, a significant end-of-year push from the Capitol in Madison. WisPolitics reports that one new law, 2025 Wisconsin Act 68, aims to ease the state’s housing shortage by speeding subdivision approvals and requiring faster turnaround on building permits and plat certifications. Another, 2025 Wisconsin Act 75, directs a one-time $10 million grant to Rogers Behavioral Health to build an integrated mental health facility in the Chippewa Valley, expanding access to behavioral health care in western Wisconsin. WisPolitics also notes that 2025 Wisconsin Act 78 broadens eligibility for the state’s Business Development Tax Credit so employers can earn credits by backing workforce housing or child care projects, even when those investments are made through third parties.

On the oversight front, State Affairs Pro reports that 2025 Wisconsin Act 61 now limits local government emergency proclamations to 60 days unless extended by the governing body, a response by lawmakers who argued that pandemic-era emergency powers needed tighter guardrails. Wisconsin Public Radio adds that a separate new law requires schools to notify parents when a sexual offense is reported on school grounds, setting clearer expectations for communication with families.

In the economy, the Milwaukee region continues to attract advanced manufacturing and tech. The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation says 3D-printing leader Formlabs has opened a 20,000-square-foot regional headquarters in Milwaukee, expected to house more than 100 employees and backed by up to $675,000 in performance-based state tax credits. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that Czech-owned GZ PrintPak is investing about $7.1 million in a Mount Pleasant packaging facility, planning roughly 40 new jobs as it positions Wisconsin as a hub for high-end paper bags and specialty boxes.

Infrastructure and connectivity are also in motion. Wisconsin Watch reports that the new MARK Passenger Rail Commission for Milwaukee, Racine, and Kenosha has held its first meeting and is preparing a federal application to restore higher-speed passenger rail along the Lake Michigan shoreline, potentially opening new job and redevelopment corridors. Wisconsin Public Radio notes that more than $1 billion in federal broadband funds is slated to push high-speed internet to “every last location” in the state, targeting especially underserved rural regions.

Looking ahead, listeners will want to watch how Evers’ housing and mental health laws roll out locally, whether MARK Rail secures federal support, how Formlabs’ and GZ PrintPak’s expansions ripple through the labor market, and what further education and emergency-powers debates emerge when lawmakers reconvene.
