MONROE — The Green County Development Corporation (GCDC) successfully hosted its inaugural Developers Day on Wednesday, May 6, drawing approximately 60 developers, investors, and community stakeholders to Monroe for an afternoon of presentations, site tours, and networking. The event was designed to spotlight the growing array of development opportunities available across Green County’s residential and commercial sectors.

The afternoon program began at the Monroe Arts Center, where Olivia Otte, Executive Director of Green County Development Corporation, delivered a comprehensive presentation on available sites and opportunities in Green County. Otte highlighted the county’s competitive advantages, including its strategic location, workforce, and the range of shovel-ready and emerging development parcels across the county.

“We were pleased to welcome so many developers and investors to Green County for this event,” said Otte. “Our goal was to give people a better sense of available opportunities and to start building relationships that we hope will lead to future projects. We look forward to continuing those conversations.”

Following the presentation, attendees participated in a guided Monroe Site Tour, visiting key development parcels and existing commercial and industrial properties throughout the city. The tour gave developers a firsthand look at the scale, accessibility, and potential of available sites.

The event concluded with a networking reception at Spilled Grapes Wine Bar providing an opportunity for attendees to connect with local officials, GCDC staff, and fellow developers in an informal setting. Developers Day was held in conjunction with the Green County Housing Summit and was sponsored by The Bank of New Glarus.
