New North has economic strength

To those who would believe we are languishing economically in the northeast Wisconsin area, a report presented to participants in a recent economic summit suggests otherwise.

According to this article in the Post-Crescent, a researcher who presented his findings at this week's summit says that, as a metropolitan area, the 18-county region of New North Inc. is above average among 361 areas nationwide ranked by economic strength.

Among some of the recommendations made during the conference was one of collaboration between communities, rather than competition.

The New North consortium includes businesses, economic development corporations, chambers of commerce, as well as, workforce development, civic, non-profit and education leaders.
