 The advantages to living and working in a community such as Edgerton, Wisconsin are recognized with increasing frequency by major businesses across the country.
For example, consider the following comparisons between Edgerton and Chicago: Electricity. Alliant Energy rates are at least 25% lower than Commonwealth Edison's. Rental costs for an industrial building in Edgerton average only $2.00 per square foot. The average in Chicago is $3.75 per square foot. Workmen's' compensation costs in Wisconsin are far lower and the system is much fairer to the employer than in Illinois. Pollution. Edgerton's air is clean and is classified an attainment area by the EPA. Location. A 'long commute' to an Edgerton business might be 20 minutes. More likely you'll drive (or walk!) to work in 5 or 10 minutes. Yet you're connected by the interstate system to major airports - O'Hare (90 min.), Mitchell Field, Milwaukee (90 min.), Madison (30 min.). Cost of living here is in the lowest 5 percent nationally. Education. Children come first in the Edgerton Community Schools. Needs, interests and abilities of the 1800 students are met through a wealth of special programs. Classroom enrichment, special studies, Advance Placement courses, math and reading promotions, outdoor education, and summer school are among the many important extras that add to traditional offerings. The high school has been recognized in the past as Outstanding International Technology Education Program of the Year in the US and Canada. Edgerton has one of the finest boarding schools in Oaklawn Academy located on the shores of Lake Koshkonong. Numerous colleges and universities are nearby, including Blackhawk Technical College, Madison Area Technical College, Beloit College and the University of Wisconsin at Madison and Whitewater. There are a number of county and state resources that can help you, or supply you with information about locating your business in Edgerton.
But beyond the statistics, the dollars and the hard data are those intangibles which make up a quality of life. The air is clean. The crime rate is low. Recreational opportunities abound ... and you don't have to travel to get to them. They're here. Whether you prefer hunting and fishing, cross country skiing or canoeing, bird watching or boating, you need only step out of your door to enjoy it. Concerts, museums, the theater, major league spectator sports, are all less than an hour away on the interstate system.
