The quality of life and ability to be in almost instant communication with the "home office" continues to attract owners and executives of downstate and out-of-state businesses to the area. Once here, they realize that the addition of a branch office in the Northwoods allows them the opportunity to spend a significant amount of time in the area. Cell phones, modems, high speed internet connections, wireless fax machines and a myriad of similar high-tech equipment bring Northwoods residents, commuters and visitors into direct competition with more densely populated communities.
The perceived obstacles to doing business in the Northwoods --- remote rural communities, long commutes, snow-covered roads --- are, in reality, part of the beauty of living here. In fact, lost time due to inclement weather is no greater in Wisconsin than it is almost anywhere in the country and commute time is frequently less than the time many large city counterparts spend driving in from the suburbs or even driving across town.
We want you to seriously consider the "Northwoods" in your future business plans. You will find friendly communities waiting to welcome you, regulatory agencies willing to assist you and employees eager to show you their skills and abilities. Our Regional Development Group is here to provide the information you need, to aid in the resolution of any issues of concern, and to work out the complexities of the transition so that you will be happy with your decision to bring your business to the Northwoods.
