Gov. Evers, WEDC Celebrate Record Year of Investments in Wisconsin Businesses and Communities

Gov. Tony Evers, together with the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC), announced that the Evers Administration made record investments in Wisconsin businesses and communities during fiscal year (FY) 2025, which ended June 30, 2025. In FY25, WEDC contracted for a total of 320 tax incentives, grants, and loans, totaling $91.5 million—the highest volume in the past five years—to help attract new businesses and enable existing businesses to grow.

“Our administration has been hard at work to support efforts to invest in local businesses, grow strong partnerships, provide essential financial assistance, and uplift local economies—and we’ve had record-breaking years to show for it!” said Gov. Evers. “My goal from the get-go has been to harness our Wisconsin ingenuity and innovation and invest in our homegrown talent by supporting businesses and industries of all sizes, from small businesses on Main Streets in every corner of our state to helping our state’s largest companies and world-class brands grow right here in Wisconsin. At the same time, we’re also working to welcome new innovators and industry leaders to our state, bringing with them thousands of high-quality, family-supporting jobs. Our work over the last six years has been about building an economy that works for everyone here in Wisconsin, and I look forward to seeing the continued positive impact of these investments in the years to come.”
