The sale of Thermo Fisher's steel plant to Formrite of Two
Rivers is now official. Formrite will relocate to the

Formrite's new plant will readily accommodate increased
production and employment, associated with new contracts to
supply component parts to Caterpillar, John Deere and other
customers in the farm and construction equipment sectors.
Formrite's former plant property - with a great view of Lake
Michigan, will be redeveloped with assistance of the city.

This IS Two Rivers
12/5/11
In about 10
minutes, The Two Rivers Business Association
and its members pledged $21,000 toward a new bike trail
project to the Two Rivers High School. Within an hour, the
Kewaunee Nuclear Plant's Dominion Foundation announced a
$10,000 pledge. In the next several hours, members of the
public called in $6,400 in donations. Those donations
exceeded a challenge grant from the West Foundation, meaning
another $100,000 for the joint city-school district project
- more than enough to provide the local match for a $1.2
million federal/state transportation grant.
