About the City :

Platteville, Wisconsin is nestled among the gently rolling hills of Southwestern Wisconsin. Surrounded by beautiful farm country, Platteville is home to the University of Wisconsin-Platteville and its 6200 students.

Opportunities for business and recreation abound. Platteville has industrial sites located next to U.S. Highway 151, a 4-lane expressway that connects to major interstate highways from Cedar Rapids, Iowa to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The city also boasts an outstanding labor force coupled with a community that enthusiastically supports local businesses and economic development.

The City is growing quickly, with increasing availability of new home building sites and commercial building sites. UW-P is in the second year of an ambitious expansion plan that will bring another 2,000 students to the community plus up to 135 new faculty and staff.

Extensive recreation and arts programs are available, ranging from soccer to museums, art galleries to flag football, with dozens of activities in between. The University presents numerous artistic and athletic endeavors for the public's enjoyment, often for free or at prices far less than in larger cities.
