Take a look at what the Omro area has to offer. Together, the Omro Area Development Corp., Future Omro Chamber- Main Street program and the City of Omro are committed to economic development, engaging in ongoing development efforts to attract new businesses, creating jobs and assisting local businesses. Economic growth helps reduce the tax burden — thus, strengthening the workforce, school system, housing market and more. A better quality of life for all of us is the goal; we recognize economic development is the driving force to accomplish this. Delays cost money and time. In Omro, we strive to provide assistance and answers within a reasonable time frame. If the project fits our community, we'll work hard to minimize the time it takes to go from permits to turning dirt. There are a variety of sites and development incentives available for the right projects. Omro Industrial Park offers one- to two-acre parcels in its 25-acre addition. The light industrial-zoned lots are $10,000 per acre and have city utilities in place, no retaining ponds required, immediate highway access and access to high-speed cable. Loan programs with flexible terms are offered for qualifying projects in the industrial park. "It was more cost effective for me to build in the Omro Industrial Park than it was to buy an existing building," says Dave Kersztyn, president of Keenline Conveyor Systems. "Now I have a state-of-the art facility in a great location." Omro's historic downtown is situated next to the Fox River on a major thoroughfare, which attracts customers from surrounding rural communities and adjacent metro areas. Omro has identified retail opportunities and is looking for partners in the fields of clothing, personal care, general merchandise and full-service restaurants. We look forward to talking with you about opening, relocating or expanding your business in Omro.
