Landmarks and businesses

The Kimberly Mill was located on the Fox River. It was built in 1889 by the Kimberly-Clark Corporation to make newsprint. Beginning in the 1920s, it started making coated paper. In 1976 it was sold to Repap. It was in turn sold to Consolidated Papers (1997), Stora Enso (2000), and NewPage (2007).[11] On July 30, 2008, NewPage announced its plans to close the plant in August 2008, and sever employment by September 30, 2008.

The Kimberly Mill continued to produce fine paper, magazine paper and specialty paper, until the shut down date. In 2011 NewPage sold the property to AIM (American Iron & Metal) Demolition USA. After efforts to reopen the mill were unsuccessful, equipment was auctioned off, and the demolition of the mill commenced.[12] In 2013, AIM unveiled a plan to develop the area as The Cedars, an homage to Kimberly's former name of The Cedars.[13] In 2017 the Village[clarification needed] acquired the land from AIM and is continuing the project.[14]

Education

Kimberly is served by the Kimberly Area School District, which also draws students from Kimberly, Combined Locks, and parts of Buchanan and Harrison (Darboy).

The Tri-County Expressway (Wisconsin Highway 441) runs on the west side of the town and forms the border between Kimberly and Appleton. Bus service is operated by Valley Transit. Appleton International Airport provides air service for Kimberly.
