We support a thriving, diversified economy in a healthy environment, and through a strategy of regional branding, we support the development of businesses and entrepreneurship. Unique recreational and tourism opportunities are abundant and anchored by a historic downtown/riverfront neighborhood. The Wisconsin Rapids Area Progress Team, representing such a large area, puts a lot of focus on collaboration and inclusiveness. Projects include: Developed the successful Community Picnic. The focus was to bring citizens of Wisconsin Rapids, Biron, Grand Rapids, and surrounding areas together. Convened meetings of local organizations around the topic of collaboratively promoting visual and performing arts in our region. Convened discussions among civic leaders and elected officials in Wisconsin Rapids, Biron, and Grand Rapids around the topic of collaboration.
