316 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE SEPTEMBER 2020 living on the river and the lake. Being a city that’s 150 years old, our lakefront and riverfront was industrial and that’s where people dumped everything. They turned their face away from it and now we’re doing the exact opposite: embracing it and building the future along it.” Wills notes, “It’s about putting our face towards the water. The newest developments – the CN peninsula, the Bayshore development, the downtown – it’s all centered on the water. Having the S.S. Badger come in during the summer, back and forth from Luddington, as an attraction has really made the lake a key asset versus just a mode of transportation. We’re really over the hump and polishing the diamond now.” PREFERRED VENDORS n Vinton Construction Company www.vintonwis.com Vinton is a third generation, family owned and award-winning road construction business that has been providing quality concrete paving, grading, underground utility, custom material crushing and demolition services to the state of Wisconsin, its municipalities and airports for the last 75 years.
