  • The Economic Impact of Wisconsin's Military
    THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF WISCONSIN’S MILITARY INSTALLATIONS Center for Community and Economic Development Study Author Funding provided by UW-Extension Center for Community and Economic Development Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation Foreword In a period of rising fiscal stringency, rapidly accelerating defense budget reductions and the resurrection of Base Reduction and Closure considerations within the Department of Defense, there is urgency to understand the unique long-term economic value and distinct contributions to regional and statewide economic health created from Wisconsin’s military assets. This knowledge and information can be usefully leveraged to quantify how powerful these assets are as economic drivers at the local, regional and state economies. The State of Wisconsin has never previously catalogued all of its military installations and assets in a systematic and comprehensive way, or assessed their economic impact in the regional and statewide economy. This study represents the first, and very important, effort to complete such an inventory and analysis. It is the hope and expectation that this data and the associated findings, can be used to justify the continuing presence and investment in these key military and economic assets in Wisconsin. Wisconsin’s military bases and facilities, as well as the specialized military and civilian workforce that underpin the missions of these assets, are integral to the economic ecosystem of the state. Taken together, the total annual economic output of these facilities nears $1.04 billion, and in nominal dollar value alone, this output is highly significant at the statewide level. Regionally, the impact is even more pronounced and vital to the economic health of the communities that surround it.
