“Teaming Up With Communities to Meet Their Challenges”

Will Andresen serves as the Community Resource Development (CRD) educator for Iron County.  CRD educators help Wisconsin communities deal with their own unique challenges – community development, economic development, comprehensive planning, business development and environmental protection. Backed by University of Wisconsin research, CRD educators work with community leaders, local government officials, civic organizations and businesses to help them identify their most critical concerns and to work towards finding solutions to their problems.
