I love the overall lower cost of living. Perfectly located with equal distance between Wausau, Appleton, and Green Bay while on the doorstep of being "up North" with plenty of hunting, fishing, camping, and other outdoor activities.
Lack of housing holds back economic growth.

Shawano is a very small town where most people know eachother. It's a relatively easy commute time because it's a small area and everything is close together. There aren't a ton of job opportunities. In the business park there are a few main businesses and factories where most people find work. There are many nice parks for leisure and family activities. There are many restaurants for enjoyment. The main issue with the town is it's small, so the wealthy rule over the town and make the calls.
Great, mostly blue-collar county. In the county seat, they make their own soda, Sun Drop, and even have a local festival to celebrate it. There is a farmers' market every week when it is warm, where you can buy fresh produce and canned goods.
