Sheboygan County Economic Development is a non-profit, county-wide private/public partnership that leads economic and community development efforts to improve the economic well-being and long-term prosperity of the businesses, residents, and communities of Sheboygan County.
Key components of economic development include:
  • Job Creation: One primary goal of economic development is to create new employment opportunities for residents. This can involve attracting new businesses, supporting the expansion of existing enterprises, and fostering entrepreneurship.
  • Infrastructure Development: Investing in infrastructure such as transportation networks, utilities, telecommunications, and public facilities is essential for supporting economic growth. Well-maintained infrastructure attracts businesses, improves efficiency, and enhances the overall competitiveness of a region.
  • Business Attraction and Retention: Economic development efforts often focus on attracting new businesses to the area while also supporting the growth and retention of existing ones. This can involve offering incentives, providing business support services, and creating a conducive regulatory environment.
  • Education and Workforce Development: A skilled workforce is critical for economic success. Economic development initiatives frequently include programs aimed at improving education and training opportunities, aligning curricula with industry needs, and upskilling workers to meet the demands of emerging sectors.
  • Quality of Life Enhancements: Enhancing the overall quality of life in a community can help attract and retain residents and businesses. This may involve investing in amenities such as parks, cultural facilities, healthcare services, and affordable housing.
  • Diversification: Economic development strategies often seek to diversify the local economy to reduce dependence on a single industry or sector. Diversification can enhance resilience to economic shocks and promote long-term sustainability.
  • Regional Collaboration: Collaboration among government agencies, businesses, educational institutions, and community organizations is crucial for effective economic development. By working together, stakeholders can leverage resources, share expertise, and coordinate efforts to maximize impact.
