amery wiThe City of Amery, Wisconsin lies nestled on an isthmus between the lazy Apple River, and the beautiful North Twin and South Twin Lakes. Located in the heart of the St. Croix Valley, Amery is the largest community in Polk County and serves as a center for shopping, arts, recreation and healthcare. Amery, a quaint community offers its residents a wonderful quality of life and excellent services provided by  public agencies and the volunteerism inherent in the community.With seven beautiful parks offering walking trails, fishing, boat landings, birding and vast nature retreats, we believe Amery is a “great place” for families and retirees and we welcome our visitors wholeheartedly.

The City of Amery has some designed industrial parks. One of the parks   currently has 13 usable acres.  The City has two TIF Districts in the community one in the downtown and the other in one of their industrial parks.
