Opposition and litigation at this site
Nothing on record as of September 1, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Epic Hosting Verona Data Center in Verona, Dane County County, Wisconsin appears in the sources this registry tracks.

Notes on the record
One of only four data centers certified for Wisconsin's qualified-data-center sales and use tax exemption (alongside Microsoft/Mount Pleasant, Degas LLC/Beaver Dam and Oracle America Cloud Services/Port Washington). Certification in a county over 100,000 population requires a plan to invest at least $150 million over five years; that threshold is NOT recorded as an investment figure because the certified plan amount is not published. Status is recorded as 'permitted' because state certification is the only sourced fact, I found no source establishing that the facility is built or operating, and a human reviewer should resolve the true build status before publication. No subsidy dollar amount is published. Coordinates are a campus-level locator for Epic's Milky Way address in Verona.
