Beloit Featured in Northwest Quarterly Magazine

City leaders share the secrets to Beloit's success. From the article:

"A city can go through a lot of change in the span of four decades, especially when that community’s stakeholders dedicate themselves to making that change.

"Since Beloit leaders set out to transform their city in the late 1980s, this southern Wisconsin city has become a poster child for smart growth. While many of the transformation forerunners have passed the baton, their successors are continuing that early vision of a Beloit where people can successfully live, work and play.

"What’s the secret to this community’s success, and what’s the next step in transformation? This spring, we sat down with stakeholders from across the city as we sought their take on the 'secret sauce' of a region’s self-improvement."
