AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Manufacturing: Fond du Lac-based QPI acquired two West Bend production facilities, adding 150,000 square feet and bringing corrugated packaging production in-house. Energy & Data Centers: We Energies plans a 750-megawatt Fox Valley gas plant amid rising data-center power demand. Milwaukee is moving toward a temporary halt on new data centers, while the cancellation of a $1.5 million federal grant has stalled a planned solar microgrid at Appleton International Airport. Agriculture: Warmer October weather is helping harvest, but soybean progress trails the five-year pace and drought is worsening in northwestern Wisconsin. Workforce: More than 1,100 students explored construction, manufacturing and skilled-trade careers at a Waukesha expo; ABC-Wisconsin also reports record construction apprenticeship enrollment. Research: UW-Madison physicist Francis Halzen won the Nobel Prize in Physics for work on the IceCube neutrino observatory.
