Wisconsin Cities Withhold Records About AI Data Centers
Local governments in Wisconsin are withholding or obscuring documents and signing nondisclosure agreements during negotiations over proposed large AI data centers, according to Wisconsin Watch reporting and recent court hearings in Port Washington in January–February 2026. Projects include the 672-acre Lighthouse Vantage-OpenAI-Oracle campus and other proposed sites with NDAs dating back to February 2025; judges and regulators are increasingly pushing for greater public disclosure. The reporting highlights legal battles over email attachments, delayed records, and municipal transparency obligations.
