Business Retention & Expansion
Economic development’s business retention and expansion (BRE) program helps foster a vibrant economy by listening to feedback and understanding the needs of existing local businesses throughout Brown County.
BRE is a proactive approach to economic development designed to better understand the challenges and opportunities businesses in our community face, and connect them with what they need to succeed. BRE also focuses on gathering feedback and insights on the overall business climate, which is aggregated and analyzed to identify trends.
In economic development, we see firms growing in three ways:
The Process
Pre-Visit
Select the company and schedule a visit. Do pre-visit analysis.
Visit
Conduct interview.
Post-Visit
On-going engagement and follow up with companies, find solutions, and report trends and analyses.
