| Ground is breaking. No matter what gauge you use to measure industry and business activity, it's clear that Marinette County is "on the grow!" Ground is breaking, girders are swinging, and plants are growing all over the county. Our industrial parks are constantly modernizing and improving services to accommodate new industries and entrepreneurial efforts. It's clear from the testimonies of our local industrialists and independent surveys that our remarkable growth is not without good reason. Educational quality, strong local support, an honest, hard-working work force, Great Lakes shipping, and attractive communities all make those who come want to stay, and those who learn about us, want to do the same. |
