"Kathleen Schilling and the entire OED team were extremely helpful with managing and navigating the entire process with the WI Department of Commerce. We are humbled by the support we received from OED and the entire Ozaukee County Board.

"The Mequon RLF program helped us fill the gap between what the commercial banks were willing to lend and the amount of private equity investment we were able to attract. The application process was streamlined and OED worked very closely with Town Bank to put the financing in place."

"As part of our expansion plans, Modern Equipment Company examined several options including re-location. The assistance from Ozaukee Economic Development helped convince us to stay in Port Washington. Through their hard work and support, we were able to put together a financing package that made our new Port Washington facility competitive with any other option. Modern Equipment is pleased to have expanded and continued its long history within the Port Washington Community, and OED played a pivotal role in that expansion."
