  • NewsJanesville referendum could stall GM plant site

    A referendum on Janesville's Nov. 3 ballot could block redevelopment of the former General Motors plant. The measure would limit city growth options, and the site could sit unused for years if the vote passes. The outcome matters to residents because the plant site cannot be revived by smaller businesses alone, and its future affects jobs and the local economy.
