Chambers, Visitor Bureaus, and Economic Development Organizations

Reference indexes · as of September 19, 2026

Central Wisconsin's business and visitor organizations follow county lines closely. Marathon County is served by the Greater Wausau Chamber of Commerce (renamed in 2019), the Wausau/Central Wisconsin Convention & Visitors Bureau (Visit Wausau), MCDEVCO, the Wausau River District, and the Mosinee Area Chamber. Each edge county has at least one chamber or tourism body: Merrill and Tomahawk chambers plus the Lincoln County EDC; the Langlade County EDC, which also markets county tourism; the Stevens Point Area CVB and Portage County Business Council; the Heart of Wisconsin Chamber, Wisconsin Rapids Area CVB, Visit Marshfield, and Main Street Marshfield in Wood; the Shawano Country Chamber; the Medford Area Chamber and Taylor County Tourism; and the Clark County Economic Development Corporation & Tourism Bureau. Regional planning commissions (NCWRPC, WCWRPC) carry the federal economic development district role. Four entries remain flagged: the Antigo chamber domain, the Marshfield and Neillsville chamber pages (script-only), and Centergy, whose domain no longer resolves.
