    suited for a leisurely stroll, extending only half a mile

    and three-fourths of a mile, respectively. More rigorous

    trails abound as well, such as the McMillan Marsh Trail,

    which extends more than 6 miles but is only open May

    Our design team went all overWisconsin to look at features, and wereally focused on the ideas relating to

    sustainability and minimizing our

    carbon footprint, says Jim Schmidt,fire chief. The new station is more than32,000 square feet, and our engineersare telling us that our energy billsshould be about the same as they were inour 12,500 square foot former facility.

    Forbes.com announced in ctober 2010 that

    Marshfield is one of the Best Small Cities to

    aise a Family in America.

    The prestigious website ranked the top 126 cities

    in the nited States that have populations of 100,000

    or less, and Marshfield was ranked No. 5. Forbes.com

    compiled its list by studying factors such as short

    commute times, percentage of adults with a high

    school degree, median household income, rate of

    home ownership and housing affordability.

    We never had to contact Forbes.com and say

    ey, look at us, to get on this rankings list, which

    made the No. 5 recognition even better, says Scottarson, executive director of the Marshfield Area

    Chamber of Commerce and Industry. For those of

    us who live and work in the Marshfield area, it was

    simply an affirmation of something we already know.

    SpECIAlTy oF ThE houSE

    arson points out that its true that home

    ownership is high in the Marshfield area, and

    the homes are nice looking. Meanwhile, the city is

    above average with regard to household income.

    I think those are all testaments to the educational

    opportunities here, and a testament to our solid

    economy, he says. We are very professionallybased. For example, large employers include

    Marshfield Clinic and Ministry Saint Josephs

    ospital, and obviously there is a need for highly

    trained, highly educated people to staff those facilities.

    DrIVIN ForCE

    arson adds that a convenient amenity in

    Marshfield is its central location, both in the state

    of Wisconsin and in the Midwest. It is easy to drive

    to the larger cities of Milwaukee, Madison, reen

    Bay, au Claire and a Crosse, and its not overly

    As for education, we have some of the best K-12

    schools in the nation, plus we have post-secondary

    opportunities that are extraordinary as well, he says.

    Forbes.com got it right. Marshfield is a great city to

    etting around in Marshfield is about to geta whole lot easier. The city is focused onimproving transportation infrastructure, andthe Wisconsin Department of Transportation

    is busy expanding 31 miles of U.S. Highway 10 from twolanes to four.

    The new four lane highway will safely and efficientlyhandle the areas increasing traff ic flow and represents an

    estimated $275 million investment in Central Wisconsinstransportation system.The completion of the Highway 10 project is a major

    milestone for Marshfield, says Marshfield Mayor ChrisMeyer. This project has been discussed and studied formany years. It will open in 2012, and it is currently open inareas between Marshfield and Stevens Point. The four lane,freeway style road wil l provide an important link bet weenMarshfield, Stevens Point and Interstate 39.

    Masfied Tanstatin ImvementsCity administrators know transportation upgrades are

    key to keeping businesses rolling into the community and

    providing a high quality of life for local citizens.Communities in Central Wisconsin continue to workon the development of an inter city bus system that wouldprovide a mass transit option for commutes betweencommunities, Meyer says. The city is also looking at waysto better organize our existing transportation options One of our goals is to find a way to make these servicesmore available to the public and increase their use.

    Marshfields Central Avenue was revitalized in 2009,which has increased traffic f low to the downtown area.The city is a lso home to Marshfield Municipal Airport andmajor trucking companies, including Roehl Transport Inc.,deBoer Transportation Inc. and Draxler Transport Inc.

    Masfieds bimedica IndstMarshfield also is growing an impressive biomedical

    reputation, t hanks to local businesses such as the MarshfieldClinic and PreventionGenetics. Marshf ield Clinic was foundedin 1916 by six Marshfield physicians and has grown to include52 locations covering 80 medical specialties t hroughout thestate. Its $40 million Laird Center for Medical Research isknown for cutti ng edge biomedical research.

    PreventionGenetics has been performing genetic testingin Marshfield since 2004 and was recognized as one of 30Wisconsin Companies to Watch in 2010 by the WisconsinEntrepreneurs Network. The company offers clinical DNAtesting, DNA banking and research genotyping for itscustomers throughout the country and the world.

    PreventionGenetics President Jim Weber started the com pany after working as a researcher at the Marshfield ClinicResearch Foundation for many years. It has 50 employees.

    It is likely PreventionGenetics will continue to grow,Weber says. Our new 9,000 square foot office building isunder construction and will be finished in April 2011. Thenew building wil l be connected to our current building by

    an enclosed walkway. We will have suff icient space toexpand our staff to near 100.

    PreventionGenetics goal is to prevent disease throughgenetic testing.

    The science is exciting, Weber says. With the GenomeProject and recent technological developments, humangenetics is in its Golden Age. We also f ind it personallysatisfying to be able to help the patients.

    At Marshfield Food Safety LLC, scientists perform foodsafety testing for food producers. The company works withMarshfield Clinics team of nearly 800 physicians andscientists to address public health issues and helpimprove food safety from the farm to the table.

    straight to the dinner table.

    Fresh FOOd OptOns n marshFeld

    With a booming farming industry, fresh food

    options abound. The towns multiple Farmers

    Markets offer an array of farm grown favorites.

    The Main Street Marshfield Farmers Market, located

    downtown on Central Avenue, keeps freshness as

    a top priority. pen Tuesday mornings at 9 a.m.,

    mid-June through September, the market draws

    about 200 customers a week, and has everything

    from fresh fruits and vegetables to arts and crafts.Putting their health advice into practice in their own

    backyard, Marshfield Clinic hosts a Farmers Market

    in its parking lot throughout the summer months

    to promote healthy eating for patients and staff.

    ocal farmers also bring their farm fresh goodies

    to the 10-year-old market held in the parking lot of

    Festival Foods on North Central Avenue every

    Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.,

    mid-July through ctober.

    We have all and only local growers at our

    Farmers Market, says Andy Cveykus, store director.

    ur vendors anywhere from 20 to 30 every week

    grow the food they sell. We dont allow vendors

    to bring in food theyve bought somewhere else.

    bread is what you crave, Burich Bunch Bakery has

    booths at both Farmers Markets. ary Burich and

    his family own and operate the bakery at their farm.

    We have six children, ages 3 through 13, and they

    all help on some level, Burich says, from grinding the

    grain into flour to measuring grains into bins.

    gives restaurants more ways to enhance their menus.

    The initiative doesnt stop at food. It encourages

    all businesses in the area to buy locally.

    the historic Parkin Place. ne of two great restaurants,

    Through the ens

    The new fire station in

    Marshfield, Wis., is well worth a

    visit. The lobby houses a museum

    showcasing a historic fire engine

    and lots of artifacts from the

    departments history. And of

    course, the station itself has a lot

    of modern equipment (thats

    firefighter-speak for fire trucks and

    ambulances). In addition, the multi-

    million dollar facility is the states

    only fire station to achieve

    gold-level certification.A geothermal system heats the

    station, and solar energy heats the

    water. There is also a gray-water

    system to collect runoff from

    showers for flushing toilets; a

    separate system collects thousands

    of gallons of rainwater that is used

    to wash the stations equipment.

    In short, Marshfields firefighters

    are as adept at saving energy as

    they are at saving lives.
