Wausau is competing not just with Eau Claire to land a valuable, high-tech manufacturing center planned for the state, but also with Milwaukee and at least a dozen other Wisconsin municipalities. Milwaukee 7, a regional economic development group tasked with attracting new businesses to the Milwaukee area, was in touch early this year with California-based W Solar, which plans to relocate to Wisconsin and create more than 600 jobs by 2015. The state announced last December that Chatsworth, Calif.-based W Solar was eligible for $28 million in tax credits if it brought its headquarters and manufacturing facilities to Wisconsin. In an email to the state, W Solar President and CEO Chris Hamrin wrote that Milwaukee 7 "seem to want to make a serious effort for the manufacturing facility for that region."
