NEWREP

New North works with a network of economic development professionals collectively called the Northeast Wisconsin Regional Economic Partnership (NEWREP). This group provides hands-on support and programming for existing and prospective New North businesses.

The group offers:

• community-specific economic development programs
• access to workforce and training programs
• information about local buildings, sites, industrial/commercial parks
• financing program support and technical direction
• technical support for business development projects
• local advocacy and liaison for resident and new business investment
• community and state program liaison

History and Scope of NEWREP

NEWREP was created in 2002, when then Governor Scott McCallum announced the creation of the "Build Wisconsin" program. The program was designed with the goal of creating a higher standard of living and enhancing the overall economic climate in Wisconsin through cooperative regional partnerships.

NEWREP is comprised of 16 northeast Wisconsin counties plus the Menominee Tribe. While NEWREP's focus is on businesses engaged in research and the development of advanced products, NEWREP also assists businesses that use advanced technology in their production, operations or manufacturing processes.

NEWREP's members have also elected to pursue initiatives dedicated to seeking solutions in a collaborative manner that will have a regional impact. We believe that by working together we can achieve broader economic and business development objectives that will enhance the entire region's economic and business development environment and the quality of life of people living and working throughout the NEWREP area.
