New DOR business development unit to support WEDC strategy
3 Nov 2019
Revenue Secretary Peter Barca says a new business development unit at DOR will support the WEDC’s economic development strategy.
“We’re trying to augment what WEDC is doing,” Barca told WisBusiness.com in a recent interview.
He says the new Business Development and Government Relations unit, or BDGR, has the support of the state’s regional economic development groups and Gov. Tony Evers. Barca says the unit will complement the guv’s statewide economic development initiative, which calls on agencies to collaborate to drive growth in all 72 counties.
