Rural Priorities
Office of Rural Prosperity
Dedicated To Fostering Rural Opportunities
Wisconsin’s rural landscape is integral to our state’s identity, offering both an exceptional quality of life to its residents and an inviting escape for those seeking Wisconsin’s natural beauty. Sustaining the vibrancy of rural economies requires recognizing the diversity of industries that thrive in these regions, from agriculture and working forests to main street businesses.
The Office of Rural Prosperity works to ensure that this diversity is reflected in a comprehensive statewide approach aimed at fostering long-term growth and resilience. Strategic priorities include supporting entrepreneurship and rural industry, addressing housing needs, enhancing placemaking, expanding broadband access, and promoting leadership and organizational development.
