<P><SPAN CLASS="body">For example, consider the following comparisons between Edgerton and Chicago:</SPAN>
<P><SPAN CLASS="body"><B>Electricity. </B><A HREF="http://www.alliantenergy.com">Alliant Energy</A> rates are at least 25% lower than Commonwealth Edison's.</SPAN>
<P><SPAN CLASS="body"><B>Rental costs</B> for an industrial building in Edgerton average only $2.00 per square foot. The average in Chicago is $3.75 per square foot.</SPAN>
<P><SPAN CLASS="body"><B>Workmen's' compensation </B>costs in Wisconsin are far lower and the system is much fairer to the employer than in Illinois.</SPAN>
<P><SPAN CLASS="body"><B>Pollution. </B>Edgerton's air is clean and is classified an attainment area by the EPA.</SPAN>
<P><SPAN CLASS="body"><B>Location. </B>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.).</SPAN>
<P><SPAN CLASS="body"><B>Cost of living </B>here is in the lowest 5 percent nationally.</SPAN>
<P><SPAN CLASS="body"><B>Education. </B>Children come first in the <A HREF="http://www.inwave.com/schools/Edgerton/">Edgerton Community Schools</A>. 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.</SPAN>
<P><SPAN CLASS="body">The high school has been recognized in the past as Outstanding International Technology Education Program of the Year in the US and Canada.</SPAN>
<P><SPAN CLASS="body">Numerous colleges and universities are nearby, including <A HREF="http://www.blackhawk.edu/">Blackhawk Technical College</A>, <A HREF="http://www.madison.tec.wi.us/catalog/pages/">Madison Area Technical College</A>, <A HREF="http://www.beloit.edu/">Beloit College</A> and the <A HREF="http://www.wisc.edu/">University of Wisconsin at Madison</A> and <A HREF="http://www.uww.edu">Whitewater</A>.</SPAN>
<P><SPAN CLASS="body">There are a number of county and state resources that can help you, or supply you with information about locating your business in Edgerton.</SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN CLASS="body">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.</SPAN>
<P><SPAN CLASS="body">Concerts, museums, the theater, major league spectator sports, are all less than an hour away on the interstate system.</SPAN>
