Economic Development Toolbox Handbook
Welcome to the Wisconsin Economic Development Institute (WEDI) Economic Development Toolbox Handbook – a catalog and overview of state economic and community development programs in Wisconsin. The Handbook has been developed to provide a one-stop, user friendly resource for economic development professionals on programs and incentives offered by Wisconsin state agencies to drive economic growth and prosperity. The platform provides information on how loans, grants, and tax credits can support economic opportunities in your communities.
State government policies and programs can play a crucial role in advancing growth across all sectors. By providing key information on the state’s economic development programs through a single access point, the WEDI Handbook is a valuable tool aimed at opening doors to wealth and opportunity for your local businesses and residents – and building a brighter future for Wisconsin.
WEDI will do its best to keep the information contained updated, but we encourage you to investigate the programs further by visiting the program website for details and program updates.
