BUSINESS-READY. LIFE-READY.
Washington County’s quality of life, abundant workforce and proximity to the Milwaukee market make it one of the best areas in the state to live your life and grow your business.
There are many reasons why Washington County is a great place to expand and relocate, but here are just a few:
- A population that’s growing more than twice as fast as the state’s population growth rate
- An excellent education system that touts a high school graduation rate that’s higher than both the state and country as a whole
- A median household income that exceeds the state and national averages
- A labor force that’s growing steadily while the rest of the Milwaukee MSA’s labor force is shrinking

The Port of Milwaukee is applying for an extension of their "Alternative Site Framework" to include Washington County. While area companies engaged in exporting and importing may see significant cost reduction through use of various FTZ 41 designations and benefits already, being included in the ASF will speed up the process. Benefits may include: duty deferral, reduced custom entry and processing fees, duty elimination, duty reduction and lower costs on fees, taxes administration.
