The Kenosha Area Business Alliance has been awarded a $240,000 state grant to lure talented out-of-state workers to Kenosha County. Given under the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation's Talent Recruitment Grant Program, the award will propel KABA's "Life Balanced Kenosha County" initiative through digital marketing, employer partnerships and relocation incentives. KABA President Nicole Ryf said access to an adequate supply of talent remains a top concern among companies already here and others that are contemplating a move. The "Life Balanced Kenosha County" campaign aims to highlight both economic and quality of life advantages.
