Community Overview

Chippewa Falls is located on the Chippewa River in Chippewa County, an hour east of the Twin Cities and adjacent to Eau Claire. The city’s 14,000 residents benefit from a diversified economy that successfully blends tourism, retail, agriculture, and industry. Chippewa Falls’ proximity to transportation; its highly trained, technically savvy workforce; and its beautiful setting have made it home to many large employers. Interstate 94 and U.S. Highways 12, 29, and 53 are major highway arteries for the community. Chippewa County recently received an international award for local college training programs focused on the local manufacturing industry: a consortium of about 19 local companies designed curriculum with Chippewa Valley Technical College. The Lake Wissota Business Park is a 200+ acre mixed-use development for industrial, office, and commercial uses. 60 acres remain. The southern portion of the business park is designated for office and high/medium-amenity development, while the northern portion of the park is designated for general industrial use.
