What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation to award

annual grants to seven specified regional economic development entities and to

additional regional economic development entities that meet specified

requirements.

Under the bill, the amount of each grant is $100,000 plus an additional sum

equal to the population of the counties that make up the territory covered by the

regional economic development entity multiplied by 20 cents, except that the

additional sum may not exceed the amount of funds raised by the entity from sources

other than the corporation or the state.

A regional economic development entity not specified in the bill is eligible for

a grant if its territory covers counties not covered by the specified entities, if it

demonstrates multicounty partnerships, if it demonstrates that it serves a defined

regional economy, if it has developed long-term and short-term strategic plans

based on the characteristics of the regional economy that it serves, and if its

governing board includes business representatives.
