Chippewa County Economic Development Corporation (CEDC)
The primary mission of the Chippewa County Economic Development Corporation (CEDC) is to foster a strong economic environment that supports businesses and nurtures growth and new investment in the region. The CEDC is dedicated to promoting and facilitating economic development and improving the quality of life in Chippewa County by increasing its economic base. Although an independent entity, the CEDC contracts with the County to promote economic development efforts.
Chippewa County is a dynamic and prosperous area, in perpetual renewal and fueled by a can-do attitude, imagination, innovation, and community involvement. We will lead the state of Wisconsin and the Upper Midwest with an innovative and sustainable economy, while attracting new innovative businesses and expertise, to enjoy our unique lifestyle. CEDC will set the standard in economic growth and be a leader towards promoting investment and development in western Wisconsin.

The Lake Wissota Business Park, located in Chippewa Falls, is an over 40-acre mixed-use development for industrial, office, and commercial uses. The southern portion of the business park is designated for office and high / medium-amenity development, while the northern portion of the park is designated for general industrial use.
Chippewa Falls is located on the Chippewa River in Chippewa County, an hour east of the Twin Cities and close to Eau Claire, WI. The city's 14,985 residents benefit from a diversified economy that successfully blends tourism, retail, agriculture, and manufacturing. Chippewa Falls' proximity to transportation, its highly trained, technically savvy workforce, and its beautiful setting made it home to many of the region's largest employers.
Chippewa County recently received an international award for local college training programs focused on the local manufacturing industry - a consortium of 19 local companies designed a curriculum with the Chippewa Valley Technical College.
