Discussion Regarding Proposed Wisconsin Rapids Data Center Has Slowed

Tuesday, May 19th, 2026 -- 9:01 AM

(Wisconsin Radio Network) Discussion over a proposed data center in Wisconsin Rapids has slowed, after city leaders and developers agreed to postpone permit talks back in mid-April.

According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, Mayor Matt Zacher says residents can expect multiple public hearings, and some sessions without developers, so the city can focus on its own review process.

Zacher says the same rules apply here as any other project, and the goal is transparency and fairness, not special treatment. No timeline has been set yet for the next public information session.
