Economic experts want manufacturers in old Printpack Building

RHINELANDER - The former Printpack building sits empty in Rhinelander. The Oneida County Economic Development Corporation hopes that will change.

Printpack opened its new facility on Highway 17 east of Rhinelander back in August. Economic workers hope to see another manufacturing company move into the area soon.

"Manufacturing space is in short supply in the state of Wisconsin currently," said Oneida County Economic Development Corporation Executive Director Roger Luce. "And a facility such as this, I think it's close to 200,000 square feet, is what I would say, a carrot on the marketing shelf. In other words, we have something that is available that somebody could move into right away."
