Taking measure of local economic growth

We all know from national news reports that the U.S. economy has been sluggish for some time. But it’s very valuable to have measurements of how our local communities are faring.

POLICOM Corporation examines the state of local economies by looking at their impact upon resident standard of living. They define economic strength as the long term tendency for an area to consistently grow in both size and quality. They measure factors such as: quality of life, education opportunities and cost of homes.

The Greater Menomonie Wisconsin Micropolitan Statistical Area is bucking the national trend and showing positive growth. In fact, POLICOM Corporation ranked our region 51 in the nation (of 576 micropolitan areas) in 2014 in terms of economic strength. Find out more about this ranking. http://ow.ly/OmxiH
