Plans for half a dozen new facilities in Hudson were
advanced by the city last week.
Meeting May 24, the city Plan Commission recommended
approval of final development plans for a second ice
arena at the Hudson Sports & Civic Center, a 28,000-square-foot
office, light-manufacturing and warehouse condominium
and an M&I Bank office on Hanley Road.
The commission also recommended approval of preliminary
plans for a 65,000-square-foot factory, a 12,000-square-foot
gymnastics facility and an architectural office.
The groundbreaking for the $2.7-million ice arena is
set for this month, Jay Kolls, president of the Hudson
Hockey Association, said Tuesday.
Kolls said West Lake Builders of Hudson, headed by
Randy Grekoff, is the general contractor for the project.
He reported that former NHL player and college coach
Dean Talafous will lease 6,000 square feet of the arena
for his Total Hockey school, which provides dry-landing
training for young players.
Talafous, a former Minnesota North Star and head coach
at UW-River Falls and Alaska-Anchorage, will be assisted
by his son Pete, a Hudson High School grad and player
for the Wisconsin Badgers, according to Kolls.
He said the hockey association has raised $750,000
for the project and expects to have $1 million in the
building fund by fall. He said First National Bank of
Hudson and Citizens State Bank are financing the remaining
costs.
John Wold of the Stillwater, Minn., area is putting
up the office, manufacturing and warehouse condominium
in St. Croix Business Park. It will be located at 2001
O’Neil Road.
Community Development Director Dennis Darnold said
it was his understanding that the building will have
about 12 bays to be divided among businesses that purchase
a share of it.
The M&I Bank branch is to be located on the south
side of Hanley Road, a short distance west of Carmichael
Road.
An Seaok and Hwichul Kim are planning construction
of a new facility for their Hudson School of Gymnastics,
which they opened in leased space in St. Croix Business
Park in the fall of 2000.
Seaok and Kim are former members and coaches of the
South Korean national gymnastics team. Seaok also has
judged gymnastics competition at Olympic and World Championship
games.
Their new gym is to be built at 2760 Enloe St. in St.
Croix Business Park.
Bondpro Corp., an adhesives manufacturing company currently
located in the town of Hudson, is planning construction
of the 65,000-square-foot factory at 2701 Harvey St.
in St. Croix Business Park.
Elliot Architects, now located at 108 Walnut St. in
downtown Hudson, plans to relocate to a new building
on a wedge of property between Coulee Road and I-94,
below the 11th Street bridge over the freeway.
