AI Summary

Midwest Environmental Advocates filed a lawsuit on behalf of Sierra Club Wisconsin against the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. The suit challenges the DNR’s decision to issue permits for a large data‑center campus in Port Washington without a full Environmental Impact Statement. Emails obtained through a public records request show that DNR staff originally told the data‑center developers an EIS was required because of the project’s scope. After the developers complained that an EIS would “kill the project,” the agency reversed course and opted for a limited environmental analysis summary. The DNR has not publicly explained why it abandoned the full review.
