Business development in the City of Racine

Why Racine? An engaged community.

Visioning a Greater Racine (VGR) is a networked-community initiative with the goal of transforming Racine into a flourishing place we are proud to call home. This initiative focuses on residents living in the City of Racine and in the Villages of Sturtevant, Caledonia, and Mount Pleasant and includes all sectors of the community – business, government, education, nonprofits, faith-based groups and individuals. A broad network of community members are continuing to meet in order to engage a proven process, called VISIONING, which has been successful in transforming other cities into vibrant places to work and live.
