At the time, they leased four floors in the Nicolet Paper Company facility in De Pere, but they needed a dedicated space of their own.

The Midwest. It’s known for its weather seasons, agriculture and friendly, hardworking, sports-loving people. We talk about the weather incessantly; tornadoes, heat and cold, winter storms, flooding, and so much more.
