Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: The Hamilton School District unveiled its newest sports complex in May, courtesy of a collaboration between Halquist Stone Co. and the Pewaukee Sussex United Soccer Club that has been in the works since 2013.
Halquist Stone donated $200,000 cash as well as $100,000 worth of supplies to the project, and the Pewaukee Sussex United Soccer Club donated $50,000 in soccer equipment. The club will also make an annual donation to help offset the maintenance costs.
Sussex-based Halquist Stone has been in the same location since it was founded by John Halquist in 1929. The company has no plans to move. Instead, it wants to be able to support the community that helped the firm grow, said president and co-owner Bill Halquist.
Bill and his brother, Tom, who is the vice president, co-own the business and are the fourth generation of the family to own the company.
The 14-acre sports complex is complete with nine soccer fields and two softball fields and held a grand opening in May, when it was named the Halquist Youth Complex. The facility is located just south of Hamilton High School.
