Land prices are very reasonable, with credits available to offset the price! We have favorable tax rates. Our local Village and School District have modest tax rates. This means more money in your pocket and/or more funds available for your building project. Although lots are plotted on the business park map they are just ideas that could be used. None of the lots have been surveyed; therefore a developer can determine what will work best for their proposed development.

We have lots available. Please call 715-253-2111 to inquire about lot prices, zoning & building information.
