The City expects a comprehensive plan for marketing the Park in order to attract new businesses and magnify the image of existing businesses. The deadline to submit a proposal is October 3, 2011 by 5:00 PM. Please contact Heather Wessling for more information.

Bits of Business

• Commercial Properties
Wausau Development is now offering listing any commercial properties for sale in the City. The idea is to induce new business and job opportunities in Wausau. Find out more...

• Check out the new national retail store in Wausau's Central Business District: Coldwater Creek. The ladies' store features the latest lines, most of which are not yet available by catalogue. Wausau is the first community of its size to have a Coldwater Creek store, according to district manager Theresa Munsell. Wausau was chosen for the store in part because it has such an appealing downtown and a customer base loyal to Coldwater's catalogue.
