Our Story

Monroe County has a very scenic landscape and high quality of life. The biggest asset for our County is accessibility. We have 2 Interstates that merge in our County along with an extensive State highway system. Our strength is a strong business community, whether you are located in the Cities of Sparta or Tomah or are in one of our smaller villages. The great outdoors is a draw because of the Elroy-Sparta Bike Trail, great hunting and fishing and a 4 season recreational area. Fort McCoy calls Monroe County home. The largest employer in the County, this Army base works very closely with everyone in the County. Our County has a very positive "why not" attitude which separates us from many of the "how come" areas. Whether you are expanding your company or relocating, Monroe County definitely is the place to call home for your company.
