Workforce & Industrial Development

Located in central Wisconsin, the Marshfield area is gaining attention as a strategic destination for industrial and commercial investment. Its position at the crossroads of major highways—such as US-10, State Highway 13, and proximity to I-39—provides efficient access to regional and national markets, making it attractive for logistics, food processing, and advanced manufacturing operations.

Industrial real estate activity in Marshfield is on the rise, with new business parks and shovel-ready sites available for immediate development. The city’s industrial parks offer modern infrastructure, including utilities, broadband, and flexible zoning to accommodate a range of business needs. Local leaders, including the Marshfield Area Chamber of Commerce & Industry, work closely with companies to streamline site selection and permitting processes.

Workforce development is a top priority in the Marshfield area. Partnership programs with Mid-State Technical College and the Wisconsin Technical College System provide tailored training in manufacturing, healthcare, and skilled trades. The Wisconsin Fast Forward program and local workforce boards help employers access grants and upskill their teams.

Competitive incentives are available at both the state and local levels. The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) offers tax credits, grants, and loan programs for qualifying businesses, while the City of Marshfield provides local incentives and assistance for infrastructure improvements and job creation.
