What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) may award grants for the redevelopment of brownfields. Brownfields are industrial or commercial sites that are abandoned, idle, or underused because of actual or perceived environmental contamination. This bill requires WEDC to expend at least $1,000,000 in each fiscal year for brownfields redevelopment grants.
Current law authorizes WEDC, in making brownfields redevelopment grants, to consider certain criteria, including the potential of a project to promote economic development and the extent and degree of soil and groundwater contamination at the project site. This bill requires WEDC to consider these criteria in making brownfields redevelopment grants. The bill also requires WEDC to consult with local economic development entities before making brownfields redevelopment grants.
