Fact text

- A massive former AC Spark Plug factory site was transformed into Drexel Town Square, complete with a splash pad, ice rink, farmers market, and outdoor amphitheater.
- IKEA chose Oak Creek as one of its locations, meaning Wisconsinites can grab flat-pack furniture and meatballs without driving to a big city.
