Lancaster and Business

Center your success here

By design, Lancaster is at the center of Grant County, which is Wisconsin’s under-the-radar agricultural powerhouse. Our economy is built on the services, expertise, and technology that agriculture and related companies require. We also are the county seat and home to a regional hospital, which give us a strong foundation of professional partnerships and access.

We never stop branching out to provide what manufacturers, transportation, innovators, and remote workers need to launch and grow. We never stop looking for the ideas that mesh with and build upon what already is here.

The State of Wisconsin got its start in our neck of the woods. Times change, but Lancaster still has that kind of vision, persistence, and know-how.
