Economic workers moving forward after Wausau Chemical move gets voted down

WAUSAU - City and economic workers will move forward after the Wausau Common Council rejected a relocation package for Wausau Chemical on Monday night.

The company operates a facility on the Wisconsin River just north of Bridge Street on the east bank of the river. It also sits just north of the Wausau River District Development, which is a more than 15 acre area that has been cleared for redevelopment after years of collaboration between Wausau, Wisconsin and other state and federal groups.

The city is making room along the river to attract more people, more business, and more value to the area. Wausau Economic Development Manager Christian Schock says the river is extremely important to the area.
