Wrightstown Voters Decide on Data Center Referendum

Voters in Wrightstown, Wisconsin, will cast ballots on Tuesday in a non-binding referendum to determine community support for data center projects within the village. The vote is scheduled to take place alongside gubernatorial and congressional races.

Cloverleaf has been exploring a project in the area, asserting that Northeast Wisconsin provides the necessary infrastructure and workforce talent to support long-term growth and job creation. The company has expressed a desire to continue dialogue with community members to deliver tax revenue and benefits for local schools and first responders.

Village Administrator Travis Coenen stated the referendum is intended to show the public's feeling on data centers. Local sentiment remains divided; some residents fear the projects would disrupt the farming community, while others worry a negative outcome could discourage future industrial development in the village.
