Funding Backing The organization has secured multiple significant grants and funding in the past few years (including $740K from EDA and $605K from WEDC) to support regional development and small business assistance. This history indicates readiness to engage in grant-driven projects and potential opportunities to offer grant writing, program administration, or funded economic development initiatives.

Regional Focus As a planning commission serving nine counties along the Mississippi River in Western Wisconsin, they regularly engage in land use, economic development planning, comprehensive planning, zoning, and public facility improvements. Potential sales opportunities exist in GIS services, planning software, zoning analytics, and implementation support for regional projects.

Digital Presence Active use of WordPress, Shopify, Mailchimp, and analytics tools suggests receptivity to web, e-commerce, outreach, and data-driven marketing enhancements. Opportunities include website optimization, CRM integration, email marketing campaigns, and improved data capture for grant or program outreach.

Economic Development Historic focus on grant administration, revolving loan funds, and economic data dissemination signals a priority on funding programs and business support in the region. Strong fit for financial management software, loan administration tooling, GIS-enabled economic analysis, and public policy impact reporting.
