Summary
Janesville voters will decide in November 2026 whether projects over $450 million—like the proposed data center at the old GM/JATCO site—must get public approval at the ballot. It's a fight over who gets final say on the city's biggest developments.

Impact analysis
Expect added election and administrative costs plus delays or uncertainty that could affect developer financing and city tax revenue.
Residents who want a direct say over mega-projects and critics of the data center get the most leverage.
Developers and anyone counting on the data center's construction jobs and tax base face longer timelines and a real chance voters say no.
