Colony Brands to close Janesville facility in March 2027

Colony Brands plans to permanently close its Janesville operations facility by next March, consolidating its food gift packing operations at an existing facility in Sun Prairie. The Monroe-based company disclosed the planned closure of its facility at 200 W. Venture Dr., in an Oct. 30 notice filed with the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development. The closure, effective March 31, 2027, affects four regular full-time employees and 78 temporary positions. Company officials noted its temporary workforce typically experiences annual layoffs shortly before the holidays. All four full-time employees have been offered positions at its Monroe or Sun Prairie facilities, while temporary workers will also be offered transfer opportunities in 2026 or 2027. In an Oct. 29 letter to employees, the company said its other facilities have sufficient capacity to absorb the work performed in Janesville, allowing it to eliminate the costs of operating a separate location. The Janesville facility has operated for approximately five years.

GM/JATCO site referendum passes

JANESVILLE — On Wednesday morning, the 250-acre, former Janesville General Motors/JATCO site will continue to be blighted, vacant, disused, overgrown with brush and strewn with rubble — with major environmental cleanup needed. But the difference is that now, if a developer wants to build out an industrial project across 100 acres of the site, and it’ll cost more than $450 million, voters automatically get authority to approve or deny it. The numbers aren’t official until the county canvass meeting, but with the unofficial total vote in on the referendum question at press time, 16,779 residents in Janesville had voted “Yes” to the referendum, compared to 9,932 votes who voted “No.” It means voters will have the authority to OK larger-ticket items at the GM/JATCO site, either through special or regular elections. It came after a weeks-long information war between business interests and labor groups favoring a reduction in red tape, and grassroots neighborhood organizers who wanted the public’s voice to ring just as loudly as a prospective developer’s. Business interest and labor groups like Grow Janesville Responsibly vehemently opposed the referendum, saying they fear it will chase away some large-scale prospects for redevelopment that could bring serious environmental cleanup that
