Success Story: On the Ice, Inc.

SEDA-COG provided H. R. Weaver Family Realty, L.P. and On the Ice, Inc., with a $490,000 SBA 504 loan to assist in expanding their existing public ice skating rink located in South Londonderry Township, Lebanon County, PA. Members 1st Credit Union partnered with them on the project.

On the Ice, Inc. (dba) Klick Lewis Arena, is an ice skating rink that offers ice hockey, figure skating and learn-to-skate programs. There was a demand for an ice rink in the Palmyra/Annville area for high schools offering winter sports. This ice arena is within 20 minutes of each high school and all of the schools currently use ice time at the facility. Lebanon Valley also provides trainers and coaches for the facility and also run the camps that are offered. Area families and schools utilize the ice facility for activities which range from recreational skating and classes to competitive hockey and figure skating programs.

The company currently owns and operates a successful all-sports facility located in Flightpath Park, which is the fastest growing sports park in Central PA. The park contains fields for soccer, lacrosse, football, baseball, and field hockey. There is a gymnastic center, a dance studio, a basketball training facility, a baseball academy, a power training facility, and a birthday party facility. Coming in 2014, is the local library along with a volleyball/tennis/rollerblade facility. There are four lots left in this 100 acre park to add some other sports venues and the owners are saving a 10 acre tract for a hotel /restaurant complex.

According to Harold Weaver, CEO/Founder, “Working with Tim Kishbach and his staff made the loan process and paperwork run smoothly. Their expert knowledge in gathering all the info for the loan was a great help to us. Also, to have a long term loan with a low interest rate, will help us to grow our business for years to come.”
