Area Development Managers assist business expansions, promote business retention, and help local development organizations in their respective territories. Area Development Managers (ADM) use their knowledge of federal, state, and regional resources to provide a variety of information to expanding or relocating firms. They also mobilize resources to help struggling businesses.

Local economic development practitioners can turn to area development managers for assistance with long-term marketing and planning strategies.

For the Milwaukee 7 Region, Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha, and Walworth Counties are in ADM Region 6.  Waukesha, Washington, and Ozaukee Counties are in ADM Region 5.
