Beloit, Wisconsin

Beloit is a city in Rock county that spans 17 square miles and has a population of more than 37,000 people. Located just north of the Wisconsin border along Interstate 39/90 and between four major metropolitan areas, Beloit has all the big city amenities without the hassle of navigating a big city. Beloit is the only city in Rock County to have been named an “All-America City”. It is home to more than 88 industrial firms, 850 retail establishments, several corporate headquarters, a minor league baseball team, several museums and an internationally acclaimed college that bears the community's name, as well as a lively riverfront and a recently revitalized downtown. Additionally, Beloit is the only city in the state of Wisconsin to be home to 3 multi-billion dollar international companies: ABC Supply Company, Regal-Beloit, and Kerry Ingredients. Other major businesses operating in Beloit include Frito Lay, Hormel, Kettle Foods, Fairbanks-Morse, and Bio-Systems International.
Similar to many other old, industrial cities, Beloit experienced significant economic distress during the 1970s and 1980s. However by 1990, Beloit 2000 (now called 2020) was formed, a visionary organization that spearheaded City Center redevelopment, and has begun working in partnership with the city to revitalize the downtown area, transform the Rock River into a world class open space and recreation complex, and continue economic redevelopments as part of the city’s continuing renaissance. While new businesses relocate to Beloit and existing corporations expand and grow, the community continues to embrace its heritage and cultural diversity.
