The Gateway to Wisconsin

Beloit businesses can benefit from Greater Beloit’s strategic location. Our geographic location on the Illinois-Wisconsin border, midway between Lake Michigan and the Mississippi River, puts us in the center of the USA's biggest market - the Midwest. Speedy access to these markets is provided by the area’s diversified transportation systems. Interstate Highways 39, 90, and 43 link the area with other Wisconsin and Illinois communities, as well as the rest of the nation.
