Prosperity Southwest Wisconsin is Southwest Wisconsin’s regional economic development organization dedicated to enriching communities, strengthening the business environment, and fostering connections to create, maintain, and enhance Southwest Wisconsin’s business environment.

The PSW region covers six Southwest Wisconsin counties: Crawford, Grant, Green, Iowa, Lafayette, and Richland. Together we are committed to our communities and economic development efforts in knowing Prosperity begins with opportunity, and opportunity can come in some of the most unusual of places. We invite you to join us as we continue unearthing the legacy and heritage of our scenic Southwest Wisconsin.
