| "I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to recommend Marinette County as a place to locate a business. One of the greatest strengths of being an employer here is the integrity and strong work ethic of the people. "When it comes to providing the right kinds of workers, we've been very pleased with the efforts of our local university and technical college. A special panel they've set up lets businesses suggest the specific courses needed to provide just the right kind of workforce for our area. The schools realize the benefit of turning out locally-employable people, so they have been very receptive and helpful in that regard. "We have also been pleased with the county's efforts to provide good local highways and transportation, which are crucial to businesses like ours that rely on common carrier product shipments. This is definitely a business-friendly area, and I recommend it highly." Gary Nadolny, Sales Mgr. of Ansul Incorporated, an international manufacturer and distributor of fire protection products (Retired) |
