Wausau is America's Best Community


A large crowd gathered in Wausau's 400 Block for the first Concert on the Square of the summer. The Wausau Region Chamber of Commerce asked Becker Communications to capture video at the event, featuring the banner highlighting Wausau's place as a quarterfinalist in the America's Best Communities contest.

Note the lack of foot traffic in the blocks extending north from the 400 Block. A wayfinding project, funded by the prize money available in the America's Best Communities contest, would be focused on directing visitors to Wausau's downtown to nearby businesses and landmarks.
