1
00:00:00,734 --> 00:00:01,101
Would you consider moving

2
00:00:01,168 --> 00:00:02,169
to the small city of

3
00:00:02,236 --> 00:00:03,570
Fond du Lac to work?

4
00:00:03,637 --> 00:00:04,905
There's an incentive for that.

5
00:00:04,972 --> 00:00:06,540
So why the push

6
00:00:06,607 --> 00:00:08,108
to help people move

7
00:00:08,175 --> 00:00:08,876
to Fond du Lac?

8
00:00:08,942 --> 00:00:10,010
In Fond du Lac County

9
00:00:10,077 --> 00:00:11,111
we're facing a

10
00:00:11,178 --> 00:00:12,479
population decline

11
00:00:12,546 --> 00:00:14,014
which isn't unlike

12
00:00:14,081 --> 00:00:14,982
the rest of the state

13
00:00:15,048 --> 00:00:17,117
most of the state of Wisconsin.

14
00:00:17,184 --> 00:00:20,120
At Envision, we are the combined

15
00:00:20,187 --> 00:00:21,722
chamber of commerce and

16
00:00:21,788 --> 00:00:23,090
economic development

17
00:00:23,156 --> 00:00:24,391
organization.

18
00:00:24,458 --> 00:00:25,592
So we have heard from

19
00:00:25,659 --> 00:00:27,761
our members and businesses

20
00:00:27,828 --> 00:00:29,329
for years that it's

21
00:00:29,396 --> 00:00:31,265
really hard to attract talent

22
00:00:31,331 --> 00:00:32,666
and find workers.

23
00:00:32,733 --> 00:00:33,800
So this has been a

24
00:00:33,867 --> 00:00:35,235
push at Envision

25
00:00:35,302 --> 00:00:37,337
and our strategic plan

26
00:00:37,404 --> 00:00:40,073
on talent attraction campaigns.

27
00:00:40,140 --> 00:00:43,043
The $15,000 one you referenced

28
00:00:43,544 --> 00:00:45,812
we've had for quite a few years

29
00:00:45,879 --> 00:00:47,281
and then most recently

30
00:00:47,347 --> 00:00:50,584
we launched a talent attraction

31
00:00:51,018 --> 00:00:52,686
with Make My Move

32
00:00:53,287 --> 00:00:54,888
due to a grant from

33
00:00:54,955 --> 00:00:57,191
the state of Wisconsin.
