Sheboygan Visitor Center Planned for 2019 & Corporate Housing

The time has come for Sheboygan,WI to get a new visitor center,and that time is just next year. That’s according to Visit Sheboygan,Inc.,and Windway Capital Corp.,who announced this week that they will be opening the new space near corporate housing in 2019.

The new visitor center will be on south 8th street and will feature a new office complex and exhibit space. A new Science-On-A-Sphere exhibit aims to attract many visitors,new and old. “The sphere will be the focal centerpiece of the visitor center storefront. Passersby will have a view of the 6-foot suspended globe,which will glow through the main window on South Eighth Street,” said Chad Pelishek,director of planning for the City of Sheboygan.

Aside from the Sphere,many of the attractions at the new visitor center will be geared towards teaching kids and adults about science,art and other topics. For example,Science on a Barge is slated to open in fall 2010 at the visitor center. The Barge is a self-contained eco-system of the Lake Michigan Landscape,and will offer programs for children and adults to learn STEM-related topics while at the visitor center.

If someone is interested in sailing,a partnership with a local sailing company will be of interest. Visitors will get to learn the basics of sailing and knot tying for this special program.

The city is slated to earn a lot more tax revenue as a result of the new visitor center. Additionally,as the city gets more and more popular,short term rental opportunities will be popping up more frequently,along with corporate housing options. Between the new visitor center and new businesses entering the city,Sheboygan has a bright 2019 and beyond.

“We’re looking forward to the visitor center becoming its own destination for interactive learning opportunities that expand knowledge about our environment and our surroundings,” Amy Wilson,president and CEO of Visit Sheboygan,said.

For over 60 years, Holiday Ice Inc. has been a trusted leader in specialized ice production equipment for industrial applications. Known for quality craftsmanship and exceptional service, Holiday Ice sets the standard with the ARCTIC-TEMP® Model 1500SM-B — a machine built for maximum output, efficiency, and reliability.

High-Capacity Ice Production

The ARCTIC-TEMP® Model 1500SM-B produces an impressive 10,000 lbs. of hard cracked ice in 24 hours. This capacity meets the demands of industries such as seafood processing, produce cooling, poultry production, concrete cooling, and chemical manufacturing. Despite its five-ton daily output, the unit’s compact footprint allows efficient use of floor space.

Engineered for Performance

This industrial ice machine is designed with premium components and thoughtful engineering:

• Highly efficient Copeland compressor for consistent performance.
   
• Double-walled vertical tube evaporators for maximum ice yield.
   
• Hot Gas Defrost for rapid harvest and quick recovery.
   
• No moving parts in the freezing zone, reducing maintenance needs.
   
• Harvest Hold (PHC) for precise defrost control in varying temperatures.
   
• All stainless steel welded construction for long-term durability.
   
• USDA approved and suitable for outdoor use.

   

Built to Last

Each 1500SM-B is factory-assembled, fully charged, and tested, reducing installation time and ensuring readiness upon arrival. The low-temperature Copeland compressor works with a Larkin RCU featuring “floating coils” for long life. Eight in-line evaporators in an enlarged stainless housing make inspections and cleaning simple, while redesigned water distributors allow for quick adjustments.

Efficient Ice Delivery

The integrated screw conveyor system feeds ice to a vertical delivery chute, providing smooth, continuous transfer to storage or processing areas. This automation minimizes labor, keeps operations efficient, and ensures a steady ice supply without interruptions.

Cold Weather Ready

For facilities in colder climates, the Model 1500SM-B offers optional low-ambient controls. This allows reliable operation in low temperatures, expanding its versatility across regions and industries.

The Arctic-Temp® Ice Making Process

The Arctic-Temp® Ice Maker design uses vertically suspended, double-walled cylindrical evaporators that utilize 100% of their surface. This maximizes heat exchange efficiency, producing hard, cold cracked ice quickly while minimizing wear thanks to a freezing zone free of moving parts.

Why Holiday Ice Inc. Stands Out

Holiday Ice Inc. builds machines with top-quality components, such as the industry-renowned Copeland compressor, and supports customers with unmatched service. Their focus on reliability, efficiency, and long-term value ensures that each machine is a worthwhile investment for high-demand operations.

Investing in Reliable Ice Production

The ARCTIC-TEMP® Model 1500SM-B is more than an industrial ice machine — it’s a dependable solution for businesses that rely on continuous, high-volume ice production. With its rugged stainless steel build, efficient operation, and proven performance record, it’s built to keep operations running day after day, year after year. Backed by over six decades of experience, Holiday Ice Inc. delivers equipment you can count on.

Owning a home is not for the faint of heart,and nothing exemplified this more than the unfortunate experience of dealing with sewer line replacement. In many ways,the failure of your home’s sewer line is the danger that lurks beneath,showing its terrible self to you and your family at a time when you least expect it. Spooky tales aside,this type of home repair maintenance can be absolutely devastating for a homeowner.

-

But why the devastation? First of all,if you unlucky enough to have your sewer line catastrophically fail,you may actually have to deal with sewage inside of your home. Depending on how quickly you can act,you could have a real mess on your hands. Moreover,even beyond the sewage aspect,you’re contending with the real potential for extensive water damage. Keep in mind,too,that all of your home’s drains will be affected,so while you may be terrified at what the toilet may do,it may not be the only terrible thing with which you’ll contend.

One of the more current trends in homeownership is owning the quaint little home in the established neighborhood that is anywhere from 40-50 years old. There’s a nostalgic part of owning a home that reminds us of our grandparents,but what many homeowners don’t realize is that these homes are potential financial liabilities due to their plumbing. Depending on the era of your home,the sewer line may be made out of clay,which while it has a long life is use,it can also be very susceptible to damage by way of intrusive root systems (think trees,bushes,and other landscaping) or settling of surrounding soil. Home experts suggest that new homeowners ask to have a sewer line inspection be part of the home’s inspection prior to purchasing the home. This way,you may have a better idea of knowing what you’re getting yourself into & avoiding trouble.

A few final things deal with the general time & expense that comes with it. Not only will damage from a sewer line backup cost you money,but so will getting the line replaced. Moreover,depending on how much work must go into the process,you will lose landscaping. If you’re operating off of an emergency situation,you may find a reprieve in terms of the disastrous possibilities indoors,but city government requires certain licensure,certification,and registration from anyone who works on sewer lines. Not only that,depending on where you live,the proper paperwork must be filed with the city before it can be approved.

-

In the end,the lesson to take away regarding sewer line replacement is that every homeowner has to be proactive in their approach to not only maintaining the sewer system in their home,but they must also be active participants regarding the ins & outs of their home insurance. Ask about policies that include coverage for sewer lines repair,replacement,and damage. Get to know your city’s role is when it comes to sewer maintenance & how it affects your property. You may just go a long way in sparing yourself a very costly headache down the line.
