and contributes to the tax base.” These developments are significant considering the challenges facing small towns across the Midwest, where limited housing options can hinder economic growth and population retention. By proactively addressing these challenges, Ladysmith is positioning itself as a community of choice for families and professionals. INDUSTRIAL GROWTH AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY Ladysmith’s industrial sector is also undergoing significant growth. In 2024, the city finalized the sale of a manufacturing facility, a move expected to create 35-40 new jobs.This represents a substantial economic boost for the town of Ladysmith. “Adding 35 to 40 jobs is a big deal,” Christianson says. “These are good-paying jobs that will significantly impact our local economy.” The city is constructing a 20,000-square-foot infill addition in its industrial park to accommodate its current tenant. The $1.23 million project, funded entirely by proceeds from the facility sale, will expand the park’s capacity and support the local forest products industry. “This project demonstrates our commitment to reinvesting in the community,” Christianson explains. “It’s a win-win for everyone involved.” 624 E 6th St. S, Ladysmith, WI 54848 lindooschool@accmanagementgroup.com LINDOO SCHOOL IMMEDIATE MOVE INS AVAILABLE APARTMENTS & TOWNHOMES Equal Housing Opportunity CALL 715-609-0087 TO SCHEDULE HISTORICALLY RENOVATED & 1, 2 AND 3 BEDROOM UNITS AVAILABLE AN APPOINTMENT NEWLY BUILT 189 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 05, ISSUE 12 LADYSMITH, WI
