The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has just posted a story updating Walmart’s plans for South Milwaukee.
Check it out here. From the story:
A Walmart development proposal hasn’t yet been filed with city officials. But Gatlin and Walmart are still working on their plans, says Danielle Devlin, South Milwaukee Community Development Authority executive director.
The project is complicated in part because the proposed site, 10 acres west of Chicago Ave., one block south of College Ave., will need an environmental cleanup, Devlin told me.
Gatlin and Walmart are conducting an environmental study of the site, which includes 3.5 acres owned by the city and 6.5 acres owned by Briohn Building Co. A development plan cannot be filed until the study is completed, with an environmental cleanup plan approved by the state Department of Natural Resources.
“We still expect things to move forward,” Devlin said.
In other words, the story is pretty much in line with what I’ve written about in the past few months. I’ll keep you posted as I learn more.
And here is an update from NOW on the Walmart proposed for Wauwatosa.
