This delicate equilibrium is particularly evident in the village’s approach to commercial expansion. Beau Bernhoft sheds light on the targeted growth areas within Little Chute, particularly emphasizing the strategic significance of the I-41 corridor. “Little Chute has a substantial amount of property right along the highway and has pretty easy access to the freeway system there,” Bernhoft notes. This prime location has become a magnet for manufacturing and industrial opportunities, leveraging the village’s accessibility to major transportation routes and a robust workforce. “We’re seeing a lot of businesses that want that easy on and off freeway access, large space, and a good workforce,” he explains, pointing out the appeal of Little Chute to national businesses seeking a conducive environment for growth. 172 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 5, ISSUE 04 BUSINESS VIEW AGAZINE VOLUME 11, ISSUE 01
