There isn’t much new on the South Milwaukee Walmart front, but I’ve had a number of people ask recently, so here is what I know, based on an email from Community Development Director Danielle Devlin:
- The executed purchase agreement between Gatlin Development and the city for the 3.5-acre, city-owned parcel on North Chicago Avenue has been completed and received. (You’ll recall that the entire development is around 10 acres and includes other privately owned parcels to the west of the city site.)
- Our engineering department is working through the environmental and utility issues on the site with the developer’s consultants.
- We expect Gatlin (Walmart) will formally submit plans for the site later this month.
I promise to keep you informed on the proposed Walmart if and when I know more — including information on any public meetings about the project. You will have a number of chances to be heard on this issue.
In the meantime, feel free to post your comments below and to vote in the poll found on the right-hand side of this page.
(Also: Gatlin and Walmart continues their efforts to build in a number of other communities in the area, to varying levels of hospitaility, including Menomonee Falls and the area near Timmerman Field.)
