Uline, a business and shipping supplies company, has paused construction of a new distribution facility in Kenosha, Wisconsin, according to company statements citing economic uncertainty as the reason for the delay.

The company is owned by billionaire Republicans Richard and Elizabeth Uihlein, who are known supporters of President-elect Donald Trump. The construction halt affects a planned distribution center that was under development in the Wisconsin city.

The pause comes in Wisconsin, a key battleground state in recent presidential elections. Trump won the state in 2016 and again in 2024, but lost Wisconsin to Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

Uline has not provided a timeline for when construction might resume or specified the nature of the economic factors influencing their decision. The company operates in the business and shipping supplies sector, providing products to commercial customers.

The Kenosha facility represents one of several development projects that companies across various industries are reassessing amid current economic conditions. No immediate impact on local employment has been announced in connection with the construction pause.
