Cornell Wisconsin
Location: Cornell, Wisconsin
Duration: Two years
Scope of works
Planning, urban planning research, collaborating, budgeting, and proposals.
​
Problem: The business ecosystem was endangered because of the steady migration of youths from the city into larger communities an hour away.
​
Solution: I met with the Mayor and the City Council of Cornell, WI, to discuss my concerns for the City's business infrastructure. We discussed various businesses that would benefit the town. I proposed incorporating several restaurant and business franchises because of the migration of multiple groups to larger cities. The population was only 1,500 residents. Before a franchise can invest in a community, it considers the amount of traffic that travels along the highway. It was important to find a franchise that was willing to invest in the available traffic data. I researched various franchises and their parameters for business within a small town. We wanted franchises to invest in Cornell while encouraging the growth of local businesses.
Outcome: The Family Dollar and Subway are the first two restaurant franchises in Cornell, Wisconsin.
Final outcome
Subway
