Building an Economy for All: FY25 Highlights from WEDC

At the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC), our mission is to build an economy that works for everyone—whether you live in a bustling city or a rural town. In fiscal year 2025 (FY25), which ended June 30, we saw that vision come to life through the creativity and determination of our local partners. Their efforts, supported by WEDC investments, are transforming communities across the state into places where people and businesses want to put down roots and grow.

This past year, WEDC contracted 360 grants, loans, tax incentives, and other financial awards totaling $197.7 million—the highest volume in five years.
