Certified Sites in the New North

Helping communities and businesses grow.

Certified Sites:

The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) developed the Certified In Wisconsin® program to set consistent standards for the certification of industrial sites, putting in place all the key reviews, documents and assessments most commonly required for industrial use. Certified sites mean faster turnaround times, quick approvals and low risk, so you can break ground on new development projects the moment you’re ready.

Plus ITT Tech, UW Green Bay and Rasmussen College all supply quality talent into the local market each year. Howard is part of the Greater Green Bay area with a population of more than 17,000.
