Robinson Heating & Cooling -- standing tall on its own: New location, logo marks new chapter in the company's long history
THE BUSINESS NEWS DE PERE – For nearly a half-century, the Robinson name has been well-known in the Northeast Wisconsin heating and cooling industry. Working under the parent name Robinson, Incorporated, the heating and cooling division of the business has provided residential, commercial and industrial HVAC services in the region since 1975. Recently, two-long time employees took the reins of the heating and cooling portion of the business and branched out on their own, separate from Robinson, Inc. “The ownership of Robinson, Inc. actually had reached out to the two of us to see if we would be interested in purchasing due to the fact that as Robinson, Inc. grows and focuses on manufacturing, they weren't able to continue to spend the time putting the efforts into the Robinson Heating and Cooling division,” Co-owner Mike Taicher said...

The NFL Draft -- 'Green Bay's Super Bowl': Packers, Discover Green Bay, surrounding municipalities bidding for future NFL Draft
THE BUSINESS NEWS GREEN BAY – Ninety million dollars certainly has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? According to Brad Toll, Discover Green Bay CEO, that is the estimated statewide economic impact if the National Football League (NFL) Draft comes to Titletown in the next few years. “Since we’ll probably never host a Super Bowl in Green Bay because of the unpredictable weather, getting the NFL Draft would be our Super Bowl,” he said. “There’s not another event we could host that would likely be any bigger. When we pitched the idea to the NFL, that’s what we said – it would be huge for the Green Bay community and the entire state.” From 1964 to 2012, the draft was held in New York City. Since then, it has been awarded to various NFL cities around the country ....

Contributing to a sustainable future: Farmers aim to achieve a healthy environment, maintain economic profitability and work toward social and economic equity with sustainable farming practices
THE BUSINESS NEWS NORTHEAST WISCONSIN – Ask 10 farmers to define what sustainable farming is, and you’ll likely get 10 different answers, maybe more.
That said, there are some basic concepts most farmers can agree on – sustainable farming is broken down into three categories: creating a healthy environment, maintaining economic profitability and working toward social and economic equity.
How one goes about achieving those things can differ greatly, and if one can accomplish all three, they are described as truly sustainable.
But it’s difficult to do and there are trade-offs, Eric Cooley, director of the Discovery Farms Program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said...Read More 7> Promoting the Regional Brand
