- N.E.W. Economic Opportunity Study
Northeast Wisconsin has lost thousands of good paying jobs, especially in the
manufacturing field. Why is this happening? How do we get our
economy moving again, and in what direction? These are some
questions addressed by an extensive study headed up by the
Workforce Development Boards of Northeast Wisconsin, Bay Lake
and East Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commissions, UW-Extension
and NorthStar Economics. We are in the final stages of a yearlong
effort to study the economy and educate people on the subject,
as well as marshal all forces to work toward a regional effort.
