Lisa Schelling likes plants, libraries, co-ops. Before she moved to Riverwest in August, 2010, she googled food co-op, and looked for something for rent within walking distance.
NIGEL THE ROBOT has his name over the door at the Helios Solar Works plant. Brent Brucker, Helios General Manager, is a Riverwest resident. Brent’s son named Nigel the robot, one of the “advanced, automated manufacturing platforms” that the company uses to make “high-performance mono-crystalline solar modules” for solar electric systems. Wisconsin’s first solar panel factory opened in late February in the Menomonee River Valley, in a new building on the site of the stockyards. Helios is backed by a combination of venture capital, a loan from the Milwaukee Economic Development Corp. and a $1 million low-interest stimulus package-backed loan from the state Department of Commerce.
