Good morning.
Thursday in Whitewater will be sunny with a high of 78. Sunrise is 6:00 and sunset is 7:46 for 13 hours 46 minutes of daytime. The moon is a waxing crescent with 43.3 percent of its visible disk illuminated.
On this day in 1985, Coca-Cola changes its formula and releases New Coke. The response is overwhelmingly negative, and the original formula is back on the market in less than three months.
Development takes both commercial and residential forms, and on Tuesday, April 21, the Whitewater Common Council unanimously approved an offer from Lifetime Manufacturing, LLC (d/b/a Summerset Marine Construction) to purchase business park lots for a new 150,000 square-foot facility, representing about $15 million dollars in assessed value when completed. The facility would bring 90 jobs initially and about another 60 jobs within several years.
(Summerset now operates in multiple buildings outside the city, and would consolidate their operations within Whitewater.)
The Council’s discussion of the sale to Summerset is embedded above. This sale benefits both Summerset and Whitewater — it is, as all good deals are, beneficial to both parties.
It’s good news for Whitewater.
