THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Wausau Supply Company is building a 230,000 sq ft new facility in West Branch with over $42 million in real and personal property investment. The city is holding a July 20, 2026 public hearing and considering Resolution 26-16 for a 12-year Industrial Facilities Tax Exemption Certificate for this site, which is expected to add 80 jobs. This expansion will drive significant private construction and equipment work around Schick Street, creating demand for industrial building trades, material suppliers, and future municipal infrastructure support.
Industrial Development District was established July 1, 2024; the Act 198 agreement sets conditions on taxes, utilities, and jobs.
