Stanley....Live,
Work, Play Well!
Close to nature and convenient to the region and the world. That's why
we say: "The Best of Times Start in Stanley" -- strategically located
halfway between Green Bay and Minneapolis/St. Paul, along Highway 29 in west
central Wisconsin. Stanley is a warm-hearted community of 3,378 and
straddles Chippewa and Clark Counties. It offers a fine balance of
businesses, products, services, housing, plus good schools and varied
recreational opportunities.
Stanley has had the vision to build a stronger community with necessary
infrastructure, essential services and 380 in extra acreage for new business
ventures to
improve our tax base and offer additional employment opportunities.
Based historically on agriculture
and wood working industries, the Stanley workplace has been changing rapidly
since 2002:
*
Stanley Correctional Institution,
a medium security prison, employs 365 as a stable workforce in various
economic conditions. Local staff and near - release, minimum security
prisoners from Chippewa have been donors of time, money and useful items for
local projects.
* Ace Ethanol,
Wisconsin's first large-scale producer of ethanol, employs 40 and is a
financially viable operation.
* Our Lady of
Victory Medical Center was built on a 30-acre campus near Highway 29
and includes a 24-bed inpatient hospital, surgical suites, outpatient
facilities for kidney dialysis and cardiac rehabilitation, a medical clinic,
Wisconsin certified Level IV Trauma emergency care, pharmacy, cafeteria and
gift/floral shop.
* The
Homeplace of Stanley,
Haven Memory Care,
5th Avenue Simply Care and
other assisted living apartment options offer increased nursing and support employment
plus housing options in a continuum of care which includes Alzheimer's and
dementia services.
The HOMEPLACE of Stanley offers Senior Care
Apartments with up to 28 hrs of weekly care.
* Banking, insurance, telecommunications,
health-fitness and retail businesses have also increased local employment
opportunities
Recreational opportunities including camping, hunting, fishing,
biking, hiking, cross country skiing and snowmobiling, make Stanley a year round outdoor paradise.
