MadREP is pleased to continue our partnership with Livability Media and introduce our 2023 Madison Region Economic Development publication. 

Each year our organization collaborates with Livability to create targeted content for talent and business attraction. We consider both larger national trends monitored by Livability and our experiences here in the Region when architecting the publication.

This year in particular, we focused more heavily on the Region’s growing rural and smaller industrial communities. Both locally and nationally, site selection activities have trended towards large developable plots of land, which are typically more available outside major metros.  

The 2023 Madison Region Livability Media content, in addition to promotion by Livability, will be a resource for economic developers throughout our Region as they navigate attracting large employers to more rural areas while demonstrating that the local workforce has access to amenities like quality healthcare, outdoor recreation, family-friendly events and foodie hotspots.
