Oak Creek Patch has an interesting story about what the propsed extension of the U.S. Postal Service’s memorandum of understanding with Oak Creek could mean for the proposed mail sorting facility at Pennsylvania and College Avenues.
Check it out here. From it:
An extension for the United States Postal Service to construct a mail-processing center at College and Pennsylvania would not be the only thing that a proposed memorandum of understanding would accomplish.
It would also open up the possibility of a different development altogether on those empty 64 acres, City Attorney Larry Haskin said.
Oak Creek officials like that aspect of the proposed agreement because, unlike the 800,000-square-foot mail processing facility, a private development would generate property tax revenue.
However, it would only happen should the USPS decide not to move forward with its plan to build an 800,000-square-foot mail-processing center, Haskin said.
I’ll keep you posted on what the Oak Creek Council does here — and I’ll do my best to make sure the voice of the 4th District is heard in the debate. I’ll also let you know of any upcoming public hearings on this.
I’d also like to hear your comments on this. Post them below!
