ProHealth Care Community Gardening Program
The Riley Crew was at it again. Last year a group of Riley Employees built 10 raised bed planters for a Community Garden Program at ProHealth Care. The program did so well we were asked back to build another 10 raised bed planters. The Riley crew made up of Craig Matthews, Amanda Toepel, Dave Riley, Pat Flaherty, Dave Gerou and Franz Lehner all donated 5 hours of their time last Friday (our first ½ day Friday…..). The planters again turned out great, and are already fully planted. Everyone pitched in by grading a stone walk-way…thanks Dave and Amanda, cutting lumber for 10 raised beds…..thanks Franz, and then constructing the 10 raised beds…..thanks Craig, Dave and Pat. We are so thankful to be a part of a great program that helps out a community that we live in.

The first building is located in the Pewaukee Corporate Park, which is only 2 minutes from I-94, just east of Pewaukee Road (STH 164) and Watertown Road. Midwest Custom Bottling is leasing 2/3 of the 128,000-SF building. The other 1/3 of the building, 50,000 SF, is available for lease.
Safelite AutoGlass® is occupying the second, 40,000 SF building on Rockwood Drive in Pewaukee. Safelite is moving its current Pewaukee location to the new building, which will be used as an auto glass service center and for warehousing and distribution. This location will be open starting December 1.
