GET ME REWRITE: Local government officials in Beaver Dam Wisconsin ignore core value: Communication Matters

 
Screengrab:  City of Beaver Dam
Headline:  Wisconsin State Journal, 2/2/2026

Tony Kertscher reports for Wisconsin Watch:
How did a $1 billion, 520-acre data center proposed by one of the world’s richest companies go unnoticed in tiny Beaver Dam? 
A key reason: In a city that lists “communication matters” atop its core values, officials took steps to keep the project hidden for more than a year. 
Now Meta, the trillion-dollar company that owns Facebook and Instagram, is building a complex as big as 12 football fields in a city with a population of 16,000, enough to fill only a fifth of Lambeau Field.
