• Wrightstown hosts public meeting as data centers target land (spectrumnews1.com) — Wrightstown leaders just held a public meeting to hear residents’ concerns about potential data center development on village land and will ask voters for guidance in a non-binding August referendum. With budgets tightening and no firm project proposed yet, officials say they’re weighing possible economic benefits against community worries, while Brown County considers a broader moratorium this week. 
• Wisconsin State Patrol finds new regional home in Wrightstown after decades in Fond du Lac (wtaq.com) — A new Wisconsin State Patrol regional headquarters has opened along I-41 in Wrightstown, replacing the longtime Fond du Lac post and combining it with the former Wrightstown weigh station. Troopers, dispatchers, and office staff are already working from the larger, modern building, while advanced weigh-in-motion truck inspection facilities and related interstate adjustments are expected to be completed over the next year.
• State Patrol increases enforcement on I-41 construction zone after recent crashes (wbay.com) — Drivers from Wrightstown to Grand Chute will see stepped-up State Patrol enforcement in the I-41 construction zone after a string of recent crashes, including a six-vehicle pileup.
