MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A new free website has been launched to help businesses looking at locating or expanding in Wisconsin.

The new site created by the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation and GIS Planning Inc. is designed to help company executives and site selectors with information that will help them make their decisions.

The site is www.LocateInWisconsin.com .

The site provides users with free and instant commercial real estate data, demographic breakdowns, community details, lists of buildings available for sale or lease, and information on the local workforce.

Paul Jadin, secretary of WEDC, says the site is a powerful tool to help businesses both inside Wisconsin and out of state grow and develop their businesses.
