City of Janesville Direct Legislation Referendum: GM/JATCO site development
What does this measure do?
This city law would require a citywide vote before the city sells, leases, or approves any project over $450 million at the former GM/JATCO plant site. The measure sets no tax; it gives voters, not only the City Council, the final say on very large projects there.

A YES vote means
Any sale, lease, or development deal at the former GM/JATCO site costing over $450 million would first need approval by a majority of Janesville voters. Projects built in phases count as one total.
A NO vote means
The City Council would keep deciding sales, leases, and development deals at the site, of any size, without a required public vote.
No financial records found for this ballot measure.
