Local Industries
Several important "clean" industries have moved here or stayed in the area because of our fine schools, cultural opportunities and outdoor recreation. Some of our industries have celebrated their centennial, such as wood products manufacturers who were born with the turn of the century lumber industry. Other manufacturers make products dependent upon the latest in technology, such as plastics, wire products, die casting and machine shops. In addition, our city is particularly blessed with local artisans and craftsmen who make uniquely designed products such as wood signs, stained glass products, and pottery. This diversity strengthens our local economy and establishes a standard of excellence which all of our businesses try to attain. We have over 300 acres of industrial park areas for future industrial growth as well.
