EAU CLAIRE — From the fourth-floor community room at software developer Jamf, employees can grab a local craft beer from the fridge, teleconference with mentors at Fortune 500 companies and take in postcard-perfect views of a revitalized downtown riverfront.
The Confluence Arts Center, set to open next year, and Haymarket Square Apartments are part of a downtown Eau Claire building boom that have drawn new businesses and workers to the area.
A pedestrian bridge across the Chippewa River connects the west side of Eau Claire with Phoenix Park, the home of software developer Jamf, Royal Credit Union and a summer concert series.
The fridge in the fourth-floor community room at software developer Jamf in Eau Claire is well-stocked with beer, a sign of the laid-back atmosphere that welcomes employees at the growing company.
Scott Rogers, workforce director for the Eau Claire Chamber of Commerce, said redevelopment and cultural events in downtown Eau Claire are encouraging visitors and former residents to return and open shops and restaurants there.
