Gov. Tony Evers signed into law this week Wisconsin Act 16, a piece of legislation that creates tax increment district (TID) exemptions for ongoing data center projects in Port Washington and Beaver Dam.
The bill gives Port Washington and Beaver Dam additional resources to support large-scale data center projects while maintaining flexibility for future growth and development in other parts of the cities.
“This bill will help these two communities compete for new data centers, bolster our local communities, and build upon our work to build a 21st-century workforce and economy,” said Evers in a Tuesday announcement.
