Gov. Evers, WEDC Announce Record Planned Capital Investments in Wisconsin

WEDC assistance to generate more than $2.4 billion worth of investments across the state
MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers today, together with Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) Secretary and CEO Missy Hughes, announced Wisconsin saw record planned capital investments last year as businesses located and expanded throughout the state. Businesses partnering with the Evers Administration through WEDC committed to more than $2.4 billion in capital investments in fiscal year (FY) 2024, the highest level since WEDC was created in 2011 and well above the previous high of nearly $1.8 billion set in FY19.

“Whether it’s the expansion of businesses like Kikkoman Foods and Nestle Purina in Jefferson or Rosewood Dairy’s new state-of-the-art cheese plant in Clay Banks, now is an incredibly exciting time for business growth in Wisconsin,” said Gov. Evers. “We’ve been making smart, strategic investments in our infrastructure, our schools, our communities, and our workforce, and those efforts are paying off. Businesses want to expand or move to Wisconsin because they know we’ve got the hardworking people, innovative spirit, and strong institutions to ensure they succeed here.”
