Hi all,
I just had a job interview the other day in Mauston, WI. Is anyone familiar with that town or the general area?

I saw on my tour of the town that there is a large treatment facility there for sexual offenders and the town itself seems to have quite a high density of child sex offenders for being such a small area. I have a family so I'm looking for good schools and a safe place. Also my husband would need to find a job as well and I'm not sure after seeing that area if there would be much economic growth there. Any opinions are welcome.

Mauston isn't bad, however there isn't alot happening there or anywhere nearby. I'd look closer to Tomah and you could commute. Mauston has always came off as an old school town to me, not much in the way of economic development.

There isn't much happening in Tomah for that matter. This is a fairly rural part of the state. Great place to be if you're really into cranberries. There's some decent lakes nearby too for boating/fishing/etc.

If you like small minded, Podunk government and schools with bullies and no educational standards then this town's for you. Or perhaps you're in the mood to indulge in the opiate crisis environment...I never saw one til I moved here. Hey, if hubby wants to work then he always has a job here for Podunk pay. However, be forewarned he most likely will be working along side prisoners who are on work release.....breathe it in...it looks pretty in picture and then reality rears it's ugly head. Taxes are through the roof because you'll be paying for the housing that is given to the felonious criminals who have false background checks performed.

Sorry for bumping, did you move to Mauston?

Not a whole lot going for the city, but very close to Wisconsin Dells, Reedsburg, Baraboo, and about an hour drive north to the La Crosse area.
