What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill appropriates $25,000,000 in general purpose revenue in each year of the 2025-27 fiscal biennium for the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation to award grants to provide assistance to businesses opening a new location or expanding operations in a vacant commercial space. WEDC already administered such a program, which was nonstatutory, with federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding. Under the bill, WEDC must establish eligibility requirements and other policies and procedures for grants awarded under the bill that are substantially similar to the eligibility requirements and policies and procedures in effect on June 30, 2023, for the Wisconsin Tomorrow Main Street Bounceback Grant program administered by WEDC. Additionally, WEDC may not award a grant under the bill to a nonprofit organization.
