The “North of What you Expect” Experience
“I knew the reputation of the Midwest as being friendly and welcoming, so we jumped all over the opportunity to move to here. There hasn’t been one time we regret the move to Neenah/Appleton. Coming from Los Angeles and all of the traffic, that’s not something I have to deal with here. Plus, my wife is a stay at home mom and she’s found a book club, breakfast clubs, and many other activities in the area. We have been embraced by the community and neighborhood. In LA, we never even met our neighbors.”
-Ryan, Vice President ITS Infrastructure Solutions – Information Tech Services
