Input-Output Analysis of the Kickapoo River Valley
Abstract
The Kickapoo River Valley (KRV) is a 766 square mile watershed
encompassing parts of four counties (Crawford, Monroe, Richland and Vernon).
It is an economically lagging rural region, with adjusted gross income levels
less than 55% of state average [WI Department of Revenue 1991].
The KRV is currently working on a comprehensive regional economic
development program with the School of Natural Resources at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison, U.W.-Extension and the State of Wisconsin. One of the
goals of this program is to enhance the economic well-being of Valley residents.
This analysis is intended to provide detailed economic information to aid local
development professionals to achieve that goal
