One of Wausau's strengths is its diverse
economic base, including manufacturing, construction, retailing,
banking, insurance and health, legal, accounting, engineering
and other professional services. This stability is in part
due to our central location and longstanding tradition of
being northcentral Wisconsin's economic hub. Over the past
twenty years, population, labor force and number of jobs have
grown. Forecasts of additional growth show what the future
holds for continued economic stability.
As we move through the next century, we
are aware of changes taking place in the local economy; Wausau's
economy is increasingly more regional and national with a
glimpse into global.
The city, together with private investment
is planning to redevelop property to create an environment
to respond to growing demand for downtown residential developments,
office space and retail expansion.
