DRY CLEANER LOCATION
Nu-Yale Cleaners has recently acquired the 2,000 square foot commercial property at 1605 Clifty Drive in Madison. It will open in late January 2012.
"The City of Madison will be getting one of the most well-recognized dry cleaners in the country," Mayor Damon Welch said. Nu-Yale plans to include drive-thru and 24-hour locker access.
Economic Development Partners (EDP) and the City of Madison assisted Nu-Yale with establishing their location. For more information, contact Brandon Maloney of Nu-Yale at 812-285-7400.
This good news follows the closing of the last dry-cleaning facility located in Madison at the end of 2011.
Flood Sculpture Competition
Many river towns have poles or walls with high water marks to remind folks of historic floods. The City of Madison and the Riverfront Development Corporation hope to present the history of the Ohio River flooding at Madison in a different manner. They are launching a competition for artists and engineers to design a piece of interactive sculpture that will allow young and old alike to experience the height of the flood waters. The highest recorded flood is the 72.7 ft. in 1937. The most recent April, 2011 flood was 49.3 ft. “We don’t know how artists will depict the flooding but we are open to fresh ideas,” said Louann Waller of the Riverfront Development Corporation. “The final design chosen will be something that people can ride or touch or climb. It will be fun and unique, something people will enjoy for generations.” Collaboration between artists and engineers is encouraged. Public safety, durability and low maintenance are all important. Materials must be able to withstand heat, cold, rain, snow, occasional flooding and be resistant to vandalism.
