Welcome to StratfordThe Village of Stratford is located in southwestern Marathon County, Wisconsin. Stratford is approximately 10 miles northeast from the City of Marshfield (population of 18,410) and approximately 30 miles southwest from the City of Wausau (population of 39,210). The Village consists of approximately 5.31 square miles of land.

The Village of Stratford’s history began with the construction of the Milwaukee, Lake Shore & Western Railroad from Wausau to Marshfield. Settlers first arrived in Stratford during the 1870s when loggers arrived. Around this time a new sawmill was built in the community and led to growth. As in other logging communities in Marathon County, the decline of lumber led to a rise in the dairy industry and establishment of the Stratford Co-operative Creamery Company in 1919. There were as many as seven cheese factories operating in the area in the 1930s.

Today, forestry products and agriculture still play a large role in Stratford’s economy, but a number of related manufacturing operations have also taken off in the area. Some of these businesses are based on forest products and agricultural products while others supply the existing industries with fabricated metal products.

Stratford also has a 115-acre business park located adjacent to WIS 153, a quarter mile west of WIS 97. The park is owned by the Village. The southern portion of the park features a pond and wooded area that is zoned as a conservancy district. The park’s design and landscape covenants (see page 11) ensure the beautiful rural setting will be maintained. Businesses located in the park include: Marshfield Clinic, A&B/JBT, Trimpac, AMS Bowfishing, Charter Communications, Foxland Harvestore, Omega Thermo Products, Polster Electric, Stratford Sign Company, Wausau Windows, Dairylab Laboratories, Dairy Services, Inc., Webertown Medical and others.

To accommodate growth and diversify housing choice for current and future residents, the Village is planning to add new housing in the near future. Stratford offers residents affordable housing, thriving business and industry, excellent public and parochial school choices, various church affiliations, a rich park system and many recreational opportunities.

Trade AreasThe map below shows convenience trade areas (CTAs) and destination trade areas (DTAs) for Stratford and other nearby communities.

A CTA is the geographic area from which most consumers are coming in order to make regular purchases. Shopping convenience/proximity is the major driver, especially on purchases that are made frequently (e.g. groceries).

A DTA is a larger geographic area from which customers are drawn due to comparison shopping, brand loyalty and price point. The DTA also includes consumers in rural areas who, out of necessity, drive further to do their convenience-type shopping (as none are located closer).

Stratford has a CTA radius of 2.5 miles and a DTA radius of 5 miles.

The table below shows leakages where demand exceeds supply for industries in Stratford within its CTA. In general, a community is not expected to retain all of its local demand, as people will always choose to make a certain number of purchases in other communities or online. Therefore, the number of businesses (demand) listed below is relative and does not suggest the exact number of businesses that will thrive in Stratford, rather it indicates the business types that are highly marketable.

Tax Increment Financing (TIF)/Tax Increment District (TID)*

TIF is a tool that builds the local tax base. It allows the Village to borrow money to build infrastructure or assist development projects, and then pay off those loans with the new tax revenue.

The Village currently has two active TIDs. Stratford’s TIDs have created nearly $10 million in value increment since they were created. The TIDs include a sizable portion of the Business/Industrial Park, along with areas open for residential development to accommodate a growing workforce.
