Wisconsin’s Forest County Economic Development Partnership works with new or experienced entrepreneurs to help build and/or sustain successful businesses in Forest County. We develop strong relationships that allow local businsses to tap into the expertise of area leaders, and provide them with access to a variety of local, state and federal resources.
Continuing Educational Opportunities
Our 140 year history with lumber serves as a strong foundation for a great workforce, brimming with ambition and a strong work ethic. Workers here are resourceful and vastly trainable. Through our partnership with Nicolet College, with educational sites both in Crandon and within the Forest County Potawatomi Community, we have ample opportunities for continuing education and training. (See our Helpful Links page to learn more about our local educational institutions.)
Forest County Business – National Successes
The business climate in Forest County is energized with companies whose products are marketed on the local and national stage. Well known for the hardworkings and ingenious people, over one century in the wood industry dating back to the pioneering days of the 1870’s gives a distinct advantage and tradition.
Numerous products have been and continue to be produced from sustainably managed forests with practices first developed by legends such as WD Connor nearly a century ago.
