A compelling, vibrant, and creative story.

“In order for the Fond du Lac business community to be able to recruit and retain top talent it must be able to compete nationally with other communities’ quality of life components. Recreation, education, and health care, are significant factors for highly trained, highly successful, employees who are considering relocating to Fond du Lac. Fond du Lac Works is essential if our community will able to move forward and be seen as a great place to work, live, and play. Fond du Lac is blessed with a robust business climate but will need help in promoting and developing quality of life factors that play such a key role in economic development. Fond du Lac Works is poised to provide that help – making our entire community stronger.

Many of the emerging quality of life assets Fond du Lac currently enjoys, such as Thelma Sadoff Center for the Arts (THELMA), factor in the decision for educated workers on whether they will relocate to a community like Fond du Lac or seek opportunities elsewhere. A community’s arts scene is a great indicator for prospective employees and potential new residents on the overall health and vitality of a community. Having a facility like THELMA in our community tells a compelling, vibrant, and creative story that is attractive to educated and highly skilled workers. “
