In Case You Missed It:<\/em> WEDA Announces \u201cChampion of Economic Development\u201d Legislative Award Winners<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Earlier this summer, WEDA unveiled the small list of state lawmakers who earned our 2022 \u201cChampion of Economic Development\u201d legislative award for their leadership in the State Capitol during the 2021-22 legislative session on initiatives to drive economic growth and prosperity in Wisconsin.<\/p>\n

WEDA presents the awards at the end of each two-year legislative session to state lawmakers who demonstrate extraordinary support for important economic development policies. This year WEDA is presenting the award to 20 state lawmakers who exhibited an exceptional commitment to growing Wisconsin\u2019s economy based on several factors, including voting record, sponsorship of legislation, and responsiveness to critical economic development issues.<\/p>\n

WEDA is extremely appreciative of these legislators\u2019 efforts to help provide legislative solutions to some of Wisconsin\u2019s largest economic and business community challenges, including talent attraction; workforce housing; TIF preservation and enhancement; economic development incentives; community redevelopment tools; and rural broadband expansion.<\/p>\n
