The quality, productivity and stability of Kenosha County’s workforce is what executives appreciate most. Skilled labor that is experienced in advanced manufacturing, food processing, distribution and other key industries reinforces the fact that Kenosha County has a real competitive advantage in its advanced manufacturing environment and workforce. However, Kenosha County needs to be aware of the growing issue of talent availability. Kenosha County should take advantage of its location in such a highly populated area as well as its outbound commuters and work to attract talent to the community.
“Innovation is the mechanism for prosperity...and the power of place fuels innovation. For Snap-on, our place is Southeast Wisconsin and our city is Kenosha. It’s been that way for nine decades, and it gives us an advantage.”
- Aldo Pagliari, Senior VP & CFO, Snap-on Incorporated

Kenosha County High Impact Fund In 2011, the Kenosha County Board of Supervisors created a ‘High Impact Fund’, to be administered by KABA, to help secure high quality economic development projects. They provided an initial infusion of $1 million. Since then, it has received $2 million in additional funding. “High Impact” developments are defined as those which create a least 50 new high-paying jobs or those involving a capital investment of at least $3 million. Below is a list of projects funded by the Kenosha County High Impact Fund since its inception:
Revolving Loan Fund Program (RLF) KABA manages an extensive portfolio of community revolving loan funds, totaling more than $30 million.
