The CWAIC's board is currently raising funds to help finance the project.
Kawleski told Wisconsin Ag Connection that he has three primary rolls in his new position: to raise money for the project, promote the project and find tenants.
Kawleski has served as the agribusiness marketing leader for Wisconsin Public Service for the past six years.
