Racine, the word means "root" in French and refers to the root lined river that ran through the area at the time of the earliest settlers. The roots, for the most part, are gone but not the river, it flows through the heart of our vibrant city. Racine has seen many new additions and renovations to the downtown area over the past fifteen years. Substantial new investments are still to come. Posied to take continuing advantage of its location between Chicago and Milwaukee, it is certainly time to invest in Racine. The links provided below will help make that point and give you a sense of Racine's enviable future.
